Like An Olive Tree - The Walnut Acre Daily Thursday June 11, 2015

WORDS TO LIVE BY

But I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God's unfailing love
for ever and ever. 
For what you have done I will always praise you
in the presence of your faithful people.
And I will hope in your name, 
for your name is good.
Psalm 52:8-9

TODAY'S QUOTE

Breeze is the conductor, 
trees the musicians, 
leaves the instruments.
~ Terri Guillemets

IN THE KITCHEN

 Amanda fixed us hotdogs, corn and applesauce for lunch today. For dinner she and I worked together to make a macaroni and cheese casserole with ground turkey. 


ANIMAL UPDATES

Just a few photos of a couple of our critters hanging out in the yard this morning. Pepper enjoyed her morning playing in the dirt and with the kids. 


YARD AND GARDEN

Austin and I worked in the garden this morning. I planted eggplants, okra and cauliflower and he covered the rows and put stakes at the end of each row. He also helped me cut up seed potatoes to plant.  Some of these things are getting planted a little later than I would have liked but I had used up all my garden space and needed to decide what to have plowed up next. 


WORKING, LEARNING, AND PLAYING TOGETHER

The kids are still enjoying playing in the parts of the garden I haven't planted yet. 


We didn't get anything done in our workbooks today but we did enjoy a game of memory and some reading.

Austin and Doug worked on a lawnmower awhile this evening. 

A Few of the Resources We Used Today



OUT AND ABOUT


I completely forgot that I had a meeting at church this evening until I received a call asking if I was coming because the others were there waiting for me. Thankfully we don't live far from the church so it didn't take me long to get there. It was a short meeting and I was soon home again.
