the ending of summer...

The ending of summer brought on a few wrap up projects..

It also brought Autumn..

The season of Schooling..

so if YOU were wondering where 

WE have been…

wondering 

why is the Blessings Farm blog gone quiet?

well we've been busy prepping for school

and

starting school!

Seeing as we home educate,

that means LOTS of extra work for mom!

aka

the lead writer of this blog!

That said..things are joyfully underway,

everyone finding their pace

including the yours truly…

Summers final days included...

homemade popcorn…

popped in coconut oil

drizzled with ghee

sprinkled with Sea Salt..

absolutely a PERFECT treat!

here are a piece by piece

and a fist full eater

can you guess who is who?

We got this BIG purple storage container

from 

Tupperware..

as I had NEVER seen anything quite so 

PERFECT for Popcorn before!

it has a lid,

hence easy to transport to our fire pit!

less accidents for our growing 8 year old..

see ..

JUST in case you have never been around an 8 or 9 year old by..

there IS something you ought to know..

they are growing

so they are..

how delicately can I put this..

awkward at times, and clumsy more than frequently…

but beyond lovable!

love how he LOVES popcorn

bite by bit eater

NOT a fist full gal…

Summer also meant finishing up this aviary!

tiling the shed

spray painting the pump..

hyrdrant red

finding snakes

and freaking the MOM out

shoo-ing chickens off the porch

and tossing them their food so they can scratch away…

watching kittens who grow WAY too fast stalking chickens

and giggling at how distracted they can become when a butterfly crosses their path

watching Poirot hide in the bell from his brother

The ending of summer 

was FUN!
