Currently, 5 For Saturday & Stone Fox Pin to Win!

I just saw Currently posted and I wanted to join in as soon as I could. Read through for a chance to win a new product at the end! 

Listening: The hubs is watching Predator while I'm plunking around on the computer.

Loving: Harvest time! See below!

Thinking: Two different browsers and 2.5 hours later.. my newest product finally uploaded. Scroll to the very bottom to WIN!

Wanting: We've been looking for a home to call ours for about a year now. Ugh. There is a house coming for sale in the beginning of July, but we may be able to get a sneak peak in July after harvest is over. After all the houses we've been to, offers that have fallen through, I'm ready to find "the one". 

Needing: My room is still chaos. I hate that. I start in there then I see a gazillon and one ideas on blogs/Pinterest I want to incorporate. It's crazy. I just need to get in there and get stuff done!

Tip: Don't be a "no-reply" blogger. One of my blogging besties, has a great tutorial on how to fix this. We (and many other bloggers) have become friends through our ability to converse via email on our comments. Besides do you remember all the blogs that you comment on? I know I don't!

 

Nothing like showing up late the first time to a party... but I'm finally linking up with 5 for Friday!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! I absolutely love wheat harvest. Long hours, heat and all, I love every last bit. Here are a couple of pictures of a field earlier this week before the combines came through.

My husband is an agronomist. Basically, he helps farmers to grow crops to their fullest potential: crop rotations, types of seeds, and treatments needed throughout the growing year. I helped him by baking several dozen cookies to share with farmers/customers of his.

Along with cookies, Tony was able to provide meals to some of the farmers. I was able to come along and snag a slice of pizza one night. So much fun to hang out with this group of farmers.

The lovely cookies above (one from scratch the other "semi-homemade") will be featured on next week's Eating, Drinking, and Linking, Oh My! This week my summer linky has really taken off. Each Monday, I post a recipe or two to share. The linky is left open all week, so join in the fun (and help my recipe rotation!) You can also recommend restaurants too :)

There has been some crazy weather here lately. Tuesday a strong wind came with a thunderstorm. Luckily, the hail stayed away from most of the fields. Unfortunately, the straight winds knocked the roof off of the barn out at Tony's grandmother's home. The barn was built in the 1930's.  I love old barns so I hate to see this one hurt in the storm.

Later in the week, storms to the east made the sky turn into a range of colors from orange to a weird cast yellow. At least it never turned green!

I've finally completed my Stone Fox Unit. (I'm so thankful for my wonderful editors!) 42 pages of resources to implement this book through novel studies or reading instruction. Lots of ideas to enhance your unit plans for grades 3-5.  You can find it in my TPT store or pin to win! Just pin a picture of the unit from here or my store and leave the url of your pin. I'll post a winner tomorrow.
