Wheres Toto Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Morning. I'm being super lazy this morning. Slept until 9am, having my breakfast and tea in a super leisurely manner. I don't teach until 1pm and then only teach 2 classes so Wednesdays should be my relaxed day. I think I need to follow through with that more. Of course, I only have 2 weeks left of this year after next week's break week. Oh well. My schedule for next year is definitely not as leisurely, at least not as listed. Classes that don't get enrollment will be cancelled so there are some possibilities. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) OK so most of you ITTers are having edpos because you are still homeschooling. But my only "Pupils" are my plants and my animals so here is my "Training up a Garden"po. I was right to be a bit nervous about the tree circles. 😉 I don't have the stamina to do one circle at a time. I think that I did probably 1/6 of a circle today. There had been yard circles of bark many years ago when we bought this place that we are trying to get back to. So I used the weed whacker to re-etch the circle boundaries. Then I used one huge Lowe's box, that's been flattened out to it's greatest extent and laid that down against one border. I did use my utility knife to help shape it a bit into more of a circle shape though technically this"circle" is more of an arc because it is cut off by the driveway. Then I dumped two wheelbarrow loads of bark on it and smoothed it out "good enough". I will do a final smoothing later when I have all the area cardboarded and barked. So right now it looks like a funny randomly barked area. (The swooshes were much easier because they were bounded by the curb and a retaining wall on each side.) A neighbor did come by to tell me how nice everything is looking though. 🌸 Edited May 25, 2022 by Jean in Newcastle homophones are tricky 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Books are ordered. Meeting with ds17 went pretty well, and he actually asked me to help him figure out how to use the "reminders" app on his phone, so yay for that! I'm hopeful that he will attempt to set a wake-up alarm for himself. Now to try the scary pantz-fixing dealio. The waist on my Goodwill pantz is too big, but according to YouTube, I can insert some elastic in the waistband and they will be all fabulous.

KrissiK Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Tomorrow is my last day of homeschooling. It's kind of bittersweet. We just got to the American War for independence in History and I would have loved to delve into that, but...I can't do that and work my job. And while my kids don't complain about school, they just kind of do it. It's not like we just love doing school. Although we just finished a good book. "A Gathering of Days." Isn't that a good title? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest if you have any qualms about it, then put it aside until you have time to read it again yourself. It is not actually a children's book at all. Twain wrote it for adults.
