Pheasant Friday

It's that time of year again...

The DNR releases farm raised pheasants.

City folk come in shiny pick-up trucks, showing of their favorite sport shop wear, bearing arms and registered dogs.

They call it hunting.

The locals just smile and shake their heads.

We love seeing the birds in our yard.

One even called from the patio outside our schoolroom door...

..."Come out and play".

Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth!
Worship the Lord with gladness.
Come before him, singing with joy.
Acknowledge that the Lord is God!
He made us, and we are his.
We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good.
His unfailing love continues forever,
and his faithfulness continues to each generation.

Psalm 100

The End of Term One 2011-2012

This year we're trying something different with our school schedule. I've split the year into three 12 week terms with a one week break in between. This is in keeping with Charlotte Mason's PNUE schools. Last Friday was the end of our first term. So this week we are "on vacation" and it worked out well with the Thanksgiving holiday. Here are some highlights of our first term...

In the Beginning....
