Wednesdays with Words: Surrender … Take On
I’m very slowly (very slowly) reading Sarah Mackenzie’s Teaching from Rest. A couple of weeks ago I posted a quote from the Introduction. Now, I’m posting from early in the first chapter. Seriously, slowly. But, the ideas from her words make an impact and require mulling and turning over and over – at least for me….
The Simple Woman’s Daybook for August 31, 2015
For Today… Monday August 31, 2015 Outside my window….is that royal blue sky that indicates that it’s morning but the sun hasn’t quite risen, yet. I am thinking… about Adam and Jesus. Adam was made to have dominion, Jesus has it. Adam was sent out – his face was turned away from God, Jesus was abandoned…
Our Weekly Amble for August 24-29, 2015
We had a week that improved as it went on. It started out rough, as it often does, and improved to Friday’s excellent day. Sometimes in homeschooling that groove is important. I was so thankful that I had done planned out the week for both Circle Time and the rest of our lessons. I want the…
Wednesdays with Words: The Wild Thyme Blows
We have been reading such good things in school, working our way through Kidnapped and A Midsummer Night’s Dream in particular. I posted pictures of my commonplace book last week with quotes from both; one I liked the ideas within and the other two quotes the poetics of. I mean, the assonance and near rhyme…

I am thankful… for the most beautiful weekend I can remember in a long time. The weather was perfect and we had zero…
Our Weekly Amble for August 17-21, 2015
So, I did one of these posts about a month ago in July, then we went on vacation. We had a week of preparation, where we did some lessons, cleaned, and packed. We had the week of vacation itself, which was a wonderful time. We came home and had a pre-planned reset week where we…
Wednesdays with Words: To Those Ends
Welcome to the one-year anniversary edition of the Wednesdays with Words linkup here at ladydusk! I can’t believe it’s been a year. I know this summer has been a bit scattered, but I’m so pleased that I’ve had the opportunity to get to know you and your reading and your books over the last 52…
The Simple Woman’s Daybook for August 17, 2015
For Today… Monday, August 17, 2015 Outside my window….it looks like there might be some sun shining through the cracks in the blinds. I haven’t really looked, yet. I suspect it’s going to be another hot day. I am thinking… about what it will be like to have only two children for the next couple of…
