Just passing through...



We are pretty sure to have identified a pair of Northern rough-winged swallows in the pale, bare branches of our Dogwood tree. I think they were probably journeying from Canada down farther south. Our woodsy backyard is lovely this time of year. We also watched a red-headed woodpecker work the tree very near our breakfast room bay window. Our Jaybird bounced out of bed this morning asking to read and write. He really likes my idea of assigning a historical period to our regular days (Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays)...he called today's theme: World War II and did excellent copy work. Later today, I'll post on the homeschooling journal, which, quite frankly, I was about to rename "Uncontrolled Fits of Nastiness," due to daughter numero dos's awful behavior of late. She seems to be much recovered after a big talking to...
