All of the information is there on the website.

We now have a temporary library in Mid City.
Kind of pitiful really,only about 150 books.
The boys and I were still able to find books for
their summer reading list.
Still unsure about schooling over the summer.
I am consentrating on the math and reading for fun.
I have been lucky enough to find a science experiment work book,
that I think will be perfect.(If I ever get around to it)

As far as crafting goes- I have been busy making a crochet
doll and lots of doll clothes. I am not quite sure what to do with it
when I am finished, but since everything is my own design, I may sell it.
Still not sure, I am in love with her already.
She is made like a newborn, big head and long body with skinny arms and legs.
I still have to work on the eyes though.

The garden is doing well-but the weather is strange, either
really dry and hot, or really wet and chilly.

The husband bought me a camera phone for my birthday but it doesn't transfer
pics to anything other than a phone. That really pisses me off,
but it was a nice present anyway.

sculpture garden-nudity

My eldest son and I took a long walk and found ourselves in city park today. Our City park just so happens to be next to our museum and a sculpture garden. We decided to have a stroll through this garden. It is free, with donations.
We had a good time, but I had some 'splainin' to do. I really had not thought that an 11 yr old would be shocked by a sculpture of a naked woman, or naked men, but he was. I guess I am a bit used to seeing nudity in "ART", and it just was over my head.
We had a few discussions about his reactions, and the art. Of course his favorite sculpture happend to be a naked woman, I thought her form was quite lovely, and gracefull. The biggest shocker for ES happend to be the 4 sculptures of naked men, he asked me to cover my eyes. They were crudely done but naked none the less.
ES seemed to be fascinated with a walk way made of stepping stones crossing over a small pond (it seemed as if the blocks were little islands, with water flowing around them). I hope that this will be a memory that he will always treasure, as I will. Our expenses- Burger King...$10, Sculpture Garden....$6, Your son telling you to cover your eyes.....Priceless!!!!

tooth ache and sweater

Other than dealing with another tooth ache I am in the process of making a knit in one piece sweater. This I hope to be for charity.
I still have a bit of tweaking to do, but I will try to post it when I am done.
Life is busy but I still work in the garden when I can.
The boys and I will be taking the next few days off of school.
We all need a break, it is Easter weekend after all.
Jesus is the reason for the season.
