A New Schedule

Since we now have flexibility of schedule, we are thinking of turning our day upside down to fit our livestyle better. Presently we have a fairly conventional schedule, main meal at dinner, school in the morning and early afternoon, etc.

We are thinking of changing the main meal to lunch time and schooling after lunch. This allows the outside chores to be done in the cool of the day.

This type of schedule also allows that we should be able to eat together more leisurely than in the evening. In evening sometimes I have meeting, or the children have a class, etc. this always disrupts dinner.

Further the saying for a more healthy lifestyle goes, "Breakfast like a king; lunch like a prince; dinner like a pauper".

We shall see how it progesses.

Mrs. Curley, with some the help from the children, has put in potatoes, carrotts, cucumbers, zuccinni, beans, tomatoes, cantalop, onions, scallions, spinach, many sunflowers, and possibly some other varieties I am unaware of. Potatoes are already up. The plum tree has flowered already, and the peach trees, as well as our dogwood is in flower now. A few weeks ago the whole countryside smelled of manure. Now the whole countryside is lush green and in bloom. (The green won't last around here - the hot sun will scorch most of the countryside to brown in a few months.)

We have been blessed greatly by our Lord.

As the Cardinals go into conclave - we pray: VENI, Sancte Spiritus
