Notice the ducklings, who are bonded to her and who have snuggled as close to her as possible in the enclosure.
Notice the math book. We homeschool year-round for math. It allows a slower, more measured pace. We don't have the 'Huh?' moments in the fall when they open the book for the first time in 3 months. The math stays fresh and we don't have to race through. We just keep going.
This pic pretty much captures how we try to live. We multitask a lot. A little school, a little farm responsibility, a little fun. Every day.
