Wordless Wednesday: Writing Stages
The Simple Woman’s Daybook for February 10, 2014
FOR TODAY Outside my window…there is a great deal of snow. Praising God…for his holiness. I am thinking…about waking the children. Maybe not yet. I am thankful…that I can offer some flexibility.

Weekly Report for February 3-7, 2014
We were a little less busy this week. That was nice. Piano lessons were cancelled when we had a huge amount of snow dropped on us Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.

Wordy Wednesday: No Moral Right at All
Two weeks ago, Magistratrium at Myriads of Thoughts posted some quotes from The Magic Apple Tree by Susan Hill.

Read Aloud Thursday January 2014
Amy has been doing Read Aloud Thursday for a long time and I participated some a while ago, but it looks like she’s switched to monthly, which is more my speed for participation, so I’m going to try again! It has been a slow Read-Aloud month for us. We’re reading during Circle Time and less…
Wordy Wednesday: Distinguishing the Accidental from the Essential
Two realizations by characters from Perelandra, and a summing up. First, Ransom realizes that the patterns are there even when we can’t see them. All in a moment of time he perceived that what was, to human philologists, a mere accidental resemblance of two sounds, was in truth no accident. The whole distinction between things…
