Wordless Wednesday

I like the idea of portraying our day in pictures.  This is what today was like.

Morning began with music practice .

Then we did Bible, Latin, Spelling, Literature (we read and discussed Shakespeare's sonnets today.)

Catching some rays at the other end of the table

A science test...

After lunch we decided to shake it up a little and go outside for some exercise and nature study.  We strapped on our snowshoes and took our faithful Jagger with us.  (As if he would have let us leave him  home!)

Oops.

This was a pile of pine cone pieces next to two or three holes in the snow that led down under a log.  We're thinking it's a chipmunk's home.

Then we came upon this footprint.  After looking it up we ruled out fisher, raccoon, and skunk.  It looks most like an oppossum's print!  (If you can see it, that 'thumb' print at the bottom right was the determining factor for us.)

After an hour of snowshoeing, we went back in to do math and history.  It's been a good day. 

Chores are next, then we plan to watch Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" tonight.
