Today was a rather active day, busy from sun up to sun down. It’s not a bad thing to be busy. Don’t you find that active days keeps a person on their toes and sometimes even learning new things?
Like today… I learned how to make roasted Sunflower seeds. I’m a bit concerned that I might have missed some insect damaged ones. (Not that insects will kill yah.. more for the taste factor). They don’t taste quite the same as store bought so I’m like…hmm…. Just not sure about this one.
I also went to a bible study this morning. It’s been a while since I’ve attended a women’s bible study. Time factors have been a biggest reason. Anyways, it was a good meeting. I think I’ll go again. We’re doing a study called No Other Gods by Kelly Minter. I wasn’t able to do the homework this week, but the study looks interesting enough, and is divided over five days, that it looks doable. Should be good I think.
Other work today had me taking pictures of baby bunnies and updating my website. I always like taking pics of my babies. Teaching them to set still for just five seconds! Handling them, doing a good health check, watching their development. A good part of my week. 🙂
My Active Day Continued…
My active day ended with my answering student questions, writing a blog post, and finding out my remedial care of the washing machine that my helpful lad over stuffed probably didn’t work. I can’t get it working again and something seems rather wrong with it. I’m not happy with myself.
Active Days are like that filled with learning, discovery, the same old same old, and disappointments. What sort of active days have you had lately?
OH! This is part of the write 31 days challenge AND Kate’s weekly link up!
The bunnies are adorable!
We have a feral mouse who’s been tamed by the service dogs, and who now follows me around the house. She sleeps in an ashtray. Weird.
Active days…
I simply must keep moving,
and leave no time to sit and think
of things (not improving!)
or like the shark, I sink.
Cancer’s got me by the neck
in a quite literal way.
No chance it can be held in check,
and there will be hell to pay.
So yesterday I did some welding
and badly burned my hand,
then helped a neighbour with her gelding
that stands ’bout sixteen hands.
It may not give a longer run,
but an active life is way more fun.
oh for sure! loved the poem!
Bummer about the washing machine! I have found that the difference in home roasted nuts and store roasted ones is almost always the use of peanut oil and the amount of salt in the store-bought nuts and seeds. I like them plain. Dry roasted is yummy but it is hard to do well at home. Good luck if you try again.
peanut oil on the nuts you think? hmm… I know these definitely didn’t turn out how I expected. I may try again down the road. but only if I beat the squirrels to them. They normally beat me!
As wives, mothers and grandmothers we tend to have very full days. What a sweet interlude with those cute bunnies! Hope your washing machine is restored to function soon. My Friday consisted of a trip to the library, the farmer’s market and a shopping trip to find something special for 3 granddaughters with birthdays. And I did get in a blog post.
you have three grand-daughters? how lovely, you must thoroughly enjoy them. YAY for getting in a blog post! 🙂
