...learning about the Moon, Drovers, Pilgrims, Queen Elizabeth I, gravity, Moonraking legend/myth

...thinking about the sun and hoping that it will shine this week for our project and the eclipse on Friday

...wondering about our rhythm and whether we are too busy

  7. I love reading about the things your family is doing. We're always keeping our eye on the moon over here.

  8. It is tough to stay "unbusy", isn't it? So much goodness out there to do. We fell into a busy trap a few years ago, it was tough, but didn't last long, I realized pretty quickly it was too much for my little man, and too much for me.

    Hope the sun shines on your this week.

  9. When I was homeschooling I used to find that the too busy generally resolved itself and before I knew where I was we were unbusy for a while again.

    It certainly sounds like your days are full, but in the richest way.

  10. That " just right" rhythm thing can be an elusive quality to pin down, can't it? Hope you have fun on your play day - several orchestras - wow. XO
