Paddleboarding, swimming and playing in the sand at the beach on the lake on the 84°F day. Earlier in the week, it was 95°F but we had a new homeschool wilderness class that started that day. The kids learned of plantain and it's medicinal uses. They collected about 2 quarts and chopped, then simmered in coconut and olive oil. We'll add beeswax and make a salve with it, tomorrow.
We got Hawaiian pizza after the lake Sunday evening. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but I do have a cup or tea or two a day. Matcha, black or herbal are my favorite. Olivia saw this box of Pukka teas for $3 at the discount grocery store. I bought the coffee for less than $1 per bag and gave one to my sister and the other to my friend, Joanna.
Here are the chicks after 4 hatched! Now they are all in a bigger bin with a heat lamp to keep them warm.Last week was myrrhbearer Sunday and so we three celebrated our Nameday by going out to a coffee shop for a couple hours and chatting. Little Elijah came, too.
My sister got Elijah a new outfit that came with this stripe shirt, and matches Liza.
