The Beale Bungalow

   It has been a very long time since I have felt like blogging.  I really cannot give anyone a reason for this absence.  I have been somewhat busy, but not to the point of not blogging, but I chose not to.  I  have been reading two of the very best books I have ever read in my life, so I did not want to blog because it would take time away from my reading.  My kitchen has been dejunked and cleaned from the ceiling to the floor-this took three days-I was on the ball, and I did not want to stop that roll, at all!  Hmm....what else....oh, my friends and I went to the Homeschool Convention-shopping only-so I am preparing for our next year of home education....that caused me to think on other things instead of blogging.  My gardens are in, so there has been much time taken up with weeding instead of blogging......I think you get the idea.  I have been up to much activity and work, hense no blogging.

   I am now trying to figure out how to set up a suburban homestead in my backyard.  I have been reading, researching city codes, gathering information, and trying to get my husband on board with my ideas and plans for the Beale Barnyard at the Beale Bungalow. 

   Our past several Sunday School lessons have been on the "Fuel and Food Crisis" coming our way.  A farmer taught the class, so it was from a farmer's prospective, and HE IS VERY CONCERNED!!  When a farmer is concerned over fuel and food--I tend to listen!  Anyway, I am trying to come up with ways to #1-be a good steward of the resources that LORD has bestowed on us   #2-be obedient to the promptings of the LORD   #3-feed my family on less   #4-save money and #5-possibly earn some money.  There is actually much anxiety over some of my plans, so I have thrown out a fleece....If my husband comes on board then I will know that I am definitely on the right path and will proceed post haste! 

   There are so many things I wish to talk about:  my homeschooling thoughts for this next year/ how well Seth is doing on our summer homeschooling lessons schedule/ gentleness/  gardening/  dejunking and cleaning/  a cleaner diet/ the LORD and His work in my family's life---the list is endless---but I am extremely tired--so I must bid you a good night.
