Home -Made

Productive week for me! Lennon dictated a story before he left and I turned that into a book for when he gets back.

I did less complicated things for my own children and of course we had lots of dictated stories in preschool, but this is different. There are couch cushions to lift, flaps to peek under, heads to slide, but most importantly are the words. They’re his.

There is just nothing like seeing your own words in print.

I made some cards and of course I let the dogs out umpteen million times, fed the fish and finally found the cat hiding in the old garage. All present and accounted for.

It’s getting cold. I brought in the spider plant, made some home-made chicken soup, then froze most of it.

My house smells like fall. The neighbors are burning already, the soup makes my house smell like my mother’s did when I came home from school and I’m starting to batten down the hatches.

It never gets horrendously cold here for very long, but it is down in the low forties at night now, so time to throw an extra quilt on the bed. I guess if it got really cold before the kids got home I could have a four dog night, but I’m not sure we’d all survive it!
