Beautiful June Monday

Tonight's photo shows Isaac being dedicated during yesterday's parent/child dedication service at First Baptist, Tullahoma. It has been a beautiful day here in Middle TN...a slight breeze, mild temperatures, and fairly low humidity (for us). I had school with Elijah, Esther, and Joy. Joy's science unit is about birds. One of her activities was to take a bird walk. She and I walked around the block and were surprised as to how many birds we saw...cardinals, sparrows, robins, blue birds, blue jays, starlings, maybe a house finch, a mocking bird, and the best...a red headed woodpecker. When I showed her the mocking bird, Joy said "Oh, TN's state bird!" Graham, Elijah and Esther came over for a while this afternoon. Graham played chess with Goosey (Woody). The other two watched for a while and then got out a game or two of their own...Candy Land...a bit more their speed! After games, they decided to do some building with K'nex. While they were doing that, friends of ours stopped by with MORE building sets! Graham's eyes, especially, got pretty big and I could see building plans forming inside his head!!! He did abandon his K'nex build for one of the new sets and made an Erector Set race car before he headed home for supper. I'm sure that the K'nex robot will be finished another day! Woody walked seven miles early this morning and did a little gardening which included harvesting some lettuce. He just ate some of the lettuce on his dinner salad. We shared a ham and mushroom omelet that was made with fresh chives and thyme from our herb gardens. Pretty tasty.
