t h e m a y f i l e s is foremost a family blog, chronicling everyday life. Life including natural, healthy eating (with recipes thrown in at random), home educating (with ideas popping up sporadically), an attempt to homestead on .2 acres (with very meager yields), raising 3 of 4 children with a rare genetic disorder, and lots of highly personal family triumphs and failures. You may also find an eclectic array of musings on politics, exercise, sewing, emergency preparedness, backyard chickens, and religion. This blog isn't a campaign to glorify anyone or anything. Just simply a record.

A Flare for the Dramatic

You really know you read a lot of poetry with your kids, when you ask your seven year old to write 5 sentences with her spelling words and this is what she comes up with:

Change the day to a pleasant one. 
Ready all are we.  
By chance, by chance, no one will say, this is not a pleasant day.


Few by few, day or night, daily conscience shine o shine.

And then you know you've listened to disney and Miley Cyrus with the other 2 sentences:

Picture the colors of the wind.

It's the climb.



Several weeks ago Ellery informed me she wanted to be a pianist, flautist and poet when she grew up.  We'll see.
