Why am I blogging?

One guess.

I should be grading.

Bleah

Also, I was going to CVS and Tarjay but then I got a call that our neighbor is gonna come up with his Mennonite friends to see about putting up a railing on the porch somehow. The step into the house is high and has a lip – I know that’s not the correct term – and it’s difficult these days for Bear to get his foot up and over it because he has nothing to hold onto except the door – which moves. Also, the prodigal was coming up to mow for us. So here I am, with no excuse to not grade.

So I found one. πŸ™‚

I was planning to sew but the flapper thing that holds the quilting bar in place has gotten loose and I can’t figure out how to fix it. But my straight lines are totally not, so that’s on hold till I can get that part fixed. (The sewing machine store is open tomorrow)

What I really want to do is take a walk in the woods. There is a deep sense of peace in our woods, a closeness to Heaven and a place where I can talk to God without interruption. So I believe I’ll finish these grades and then go have a moment.

    πŸ˜‚. I had a feeling I knew the reason you were blogging today!

    Enjoy that walk in the woods later. It sounds like a place of total peace.

    There are places that give peaceful, quiet, alone time to talk to our Father in Heaven where we can feel him close by. Nature is definitely one of them. Sometimes I find that taking a walk in my neighborhood (lol, for exercise, small town) during the day. It’s lovely in the spring when the lilacs are blooming :). Winters are harsh here so I can’t walk then, I don’t feel like walking in below 0 weather or slipping and sliding on ice :P, but hey that is just a preference :P. I find knitting and spinning time peaceful too tho :).

  3. A bad day walking in the woods is better than a good day grading papers! Hang in there and know that you and Bear are remaining in my prayers.

  4. You know that you could take the papers with you on the walk in the woods. Just find a nice log to sit on, and get crackin’ of the grading.
