May 29th 2013 (School, Sewing, Canning, and Photography)

The weather has been getting warmer. We had a couple warm weeks or so recently, and it is going to be in the 90s some this week!
I like the warmer weather, but I am not sure if I should be excited about it being that hot or not. :-)

Tabitha and I have continued on with our sewing. Yes, we finished the skirt already. I really appreciate learning to sew-such a good skill to know!

This week we bought fabric and, to our surprise, at the same store we found a canning tray. We have been wanting to can for a while now, but we couldn't find anyone selling the trays we need. So that is very exciting for me! :D

School has been going well.
I am memorizing Proverbs 10:15:18 this week and reading about Job from "The Kingdom of God" by Francis Breisch, Jr. for my Bible class. That is a great book and I highly enjoy grasping new thoughts/ ideas/ Biblical facts that I haven't before.

I am finishing up my book report on the book "Up From Slavery" by Booker T. Washington. He tells the story of his life growing up in slavery and when they were freed-showing the determination to prove that all men (no matter the race) should be showed respect and love. He says in his book, how not only is book learning excellent for a person, but also hard work should be learned and practiced.
I just finished a chapter in Science on "Natural Resources" and especially enjoyed learning about several types of pollutants and how they affect living organisms, etc. I am just starting a chapter on "Support and Movement of the Body". It just goes into more detail about structures of the skin,skin colour, how your skin protects you, skeletal system, structures of bones, muscular system, etc. Great stuff! It is amazing how God created everything so perfect!
I just finished studying about the life on the colonies in History and going to start "America Colonies in the British Empire". It is nice to be able to read about my country's past history.
In Math I am just about to learn about Geometric Construction of Bisectors. How fun! : )

My photography has been going alright- I haven't read much since my last blog post, though, sadly.
That being said, I am going to be meeting with my friend and photographer, Crystal next week sometime, hopefully. Like Her FB Photography Page Here!
I can't tell you how excited I am to finally be seeing her again after a year! To talk about photography, take some pictures, and just to catch up on a few things!

I will end now with pictures I have taken and edited recently:
Starting with the skirt we made.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by again! Good night and God bless.
