Weeding is not my favorite thing to do...in fact it falls at the bottom of my list of things I like to do - along with ironing. Although, today was especially nice...sunny with a nice breeze to keep things cool. Besides hanging out laundry (which I do enjoy doing) I thought it would be a nice day to do some weeding in the back garden. Dare I say it was almost enjoyable? Due to the wonderful weather, it was. We like being outside when the mosquitoes and heat are absent....we didn't finish the job....that will have to wait until tomorrow...another nice day forcasted. You may be wondering how I could incorporate this into a day of homeschooling.....I suppose I could justify it by saying it was his P.E. class...you know, stretching and bending....but it was an opportunity to show by example things needing to be done when you own your own home. More importantly I wanted to emphasize the importance of keeping at a task until the job is done; a good lesson to be learned before getting his first job. Life skills...an important goal of mine through homeschooling our son: home maintenance and a dedication to completing an assigned task.
