The Joys and Sorrows of a Week Reviewed

The Joys
Look what I found this week!!!!   SLIDES...not just blank slides but also prepared slides!!!!   People give me stuff, and I sort through it, passing it along or tossing it into my for sale pile, or just using it myself.  When I find a treasure it's like WOOT WOOT!!!   :)

Yard Work Accomplished.   Four bags of yard waste collected from the back yard.  I've a post in the works about the word done and what needs doing yet.   I even got the back yard mowed.  Did I over do it?   For certain.  But ah... it still feels good to have that hard work done.  :)   Tall weeds gone, dead flowers trimmed back.  By end of week this had grown to five bags plus volunteer trees removed, rose bush cut back (the bunnies enjoyed that), and my dahlias cut back soon to be brought in.  The houseplants I kicked outside for the summer have been brought in as well.

Photography Accomplished
Took a good time to photograph to all the rabbits.  We had a glitch in my photo saving hard drive and hubby thinks he might be able to get SOME of my photos back, but all the records appear to be lost.  THIS BITES.   BUT taking pictures of bunnies...this is good!  :)   Like my bunnies.  :)

Home Education Has Happened.

• Dailies have happened MOST days (three smart books he works through)

Not as much schooling as I would have liked, but when dealing with colds that zap ones energy, one works with the flow eh?  :)

But I have worked up a calendar for the lad.  Colour coded and everything.

I am feeling MUCH better, I still have a cough by end of day, but overall.. WOOT WOOT life is feeling much better.

The Sorrows

• Hubby has been fighting some stomach bug.
• The lad caught my cold and is feeling pretty rough.
• My son has made a decision to sell his first rabbit.  She's no longer producing live youngsters and her last pregnancy and its results had us very concerned about her long term health.   AND since he really wants me to keep Wafer (our other pet rabbit) he's decided that his Peyton can go to a new home.
  
• Decision made on the closing of the church.   End of the year.   :(
