Ten on Ten: May 2011

ten photos.

over ten hours.

on the tenth of the month.

ready, go.

 8:22 a.m.

My Rancher drops the slobbery bottles on the back porch after feeding his 5 orphaned calves.

9:13 a.m.

Chase the chickens off the porch and lure them back in the chicken yard with a bowl of scraps (get attacked - mildly- by Brewster the Rooster in the process. Punk!).

10:40 a.m.

Hang the freshly washed sheets to dry.  A mighty windy day will dry them in no time.

11:27 a.m.

Chicky play time in the sun.

12:12 p.m.

Somebody's got the crankies.  It must be lunch time.

1:02 p.m.

Squeeze in a little learning before quiet time.  Ezra asks to do math.

1:45 p.m.

Quiet time.  Jiles cuddles up to Kate while she finishes Black Beauty.

2:53 p.m.

Quiet time is almost over.  Go, bread, go.  Knead, dough, knead.  

(I love my Blendtec with its autoknead button.)

4:04 p.m. 

Pick up my scientific, knex-building oldest child from cubscouts at church.  Waited for half an hour for him to get back from a field trip seeing a blue heron's nest.

The bread is on the counter at home rising.

5:11 p.m.!

Got home waaay later from picking up Spencer than planned.  Dough is OOC (out of control)!

Ezra remarks, "How embarassing!" when he sees the dough.

Smush it down.
Start again.
