Swing, Swing

The warmer Fall days are back, tenaciously holding Winter at bay for a bit ... we took advantage of it with some time on the swing. Soaking in some of that all important vitamin D from the waning sunshine.

Our active little girl has not spent much time in her swing because she always manages to wiggle herself out of it -- until today! I discovered this wonderful solution to that problem: put her into the swing in her carseat ... perfect! It's safer for her -- and probably more comfortable. Thank you God for inspirations!

A quote from Marci's blog ... worth repeating & remembering!

Pray for the Klicka Clan

Chris Klicka, HSLDA’s first full-time attorney, who has been fighting multiple sclerosis for many years, became very ill this week at the Home School Legal Defense Association's National Leaders Conference in Colorado last week. Chris was admitted to St. Francis Medical Center in Colorado Springs, where he remains in critical condition.

Chris & Tracy have had an exemplary marriage of twenty-five years which was blessed with seven children.

His family has traveled from Virginia to be with him. Please pray for
them as they wait on the Lord during this difficult time.

For updates on Chris’s status visit CaringBridge.

For more about Chris’s years of service to the homeschooling community,view his bio at HSLDA’s website.

Edit note:Monday, Oct. 12,
God called this soldier home. The loss is felt by the homeschool community, Christians and his precious family. Keep them in your prayers.

True Blue

We've acquired some new laying hens. They are true free-range birds from a local farm ... raised by their Mother Hen!

That said though, many of them are not yet ready to lay - they are three months old now and a hen usually starts laying eggs at five months of age.

Mother hen is laying again though - she is Americana, so she lays blue shelled eggs. It's true, they're blue!

The color of the shell does not really matter though. These eggs may be a bit smaller, but they pack the same nutritional power as the brown eggs. Our wholesome chicken food will allow her/them to produce the same healthy eggs that our Isa brown layers have been providing:
