By this! boy oh boy did we have snow!!! 1 hour of shovelling before I could even GET to the bunnies. My son came down at 9.. mom.. I can't get to my mice! Yeah, well grab a shovel and help! :) (he didn't....he quietly snuck back to the house and waiting another 20 minutes). :)
The path to the lad's mice and guinea pigs. :)
I cleared the path to the bird feeders as well. We got more seed for them today. They'll be happy about that tomorrow. ALL roads in my county are closed now due to poor visibility. We made it back just in the nick of time. :)
Tommy wondering why I still haven't fed and watered him! He vexed me this morning, kept stealing his food bowl away on me. I was totally covered in snow by the time I got it back from him. Silly lad. He's like a big ole' puppy dog this boy.
Biscuit wondering where her morning treat is. This rabbit LOVES the snow. Her kits well.. not so much yet. :) And yes, she does have a warm dry place to set in, but she most often sits by her open area right in the snow looking about. :)
Lest you think we did no schooling today.. we did!
We did grammar (writing nouns about our life). Reading Kingdom. Math (double and triple digit subtraction). Science.. learning about cathode rays tubes, electricity waves, and radium. The lad said when learning that Marie Curie died as the result of the science experiments she conducted "Mom, that really sucks if your works kills you! Didn't she know any better not to do that???" (well no she didn't). Well that's just really not very nice is it mom? (nope, it isn't lad). Does that still happen now Mom? Do people make bad mistakes like that? (well, I think so, that's why you need to be very careful when you are experimenting with something new). Well I guess so mom!
We also did some history. We learned about how the monks made most of the books (and how they did it) and about the artwork put into making books. My plan tomorrow is to make our own Illumination artwork! That reminds me.. I have to find something that we can do!!!!!
We then headed up to London as I had a rabbit to sell and some groceries to buy. The weather was iffy and a tad bit scary on the way up. BUT we made it, got our shopping down the weather getting colder as the day went on. The trip home was a good lesson in trusting God to see us through, and he did. The roads were closed to traffic shortly after we got home due to poor visibility. This news didn't surprise me at all.
