Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is making an appearance in my little corner of the Fort today. We learned earlier this week that what we thought was fog one morning was actually haze and smoke traveling down from Canada's wildfires. The lawns have been loving the extra moisture and we hope it stays cool for a little bit longer. This week has been one of finishes. With graduation ceremonies that Serra played at on Saturday, the Junior year for both of them has come to a close. Summer may be three months long however I have a feeling it is going to fly by. We have college visits planned, Amanda is going back out for part of the...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Feels like it has been a spell since we've had my kind of spring. It has been wet, cold and glorious this week. The extra moisture has made the vegetation a rich shade of green and the leaves on the tree out front are coming in full. Only thing I'm missing is some lilacs. Someday I will figure out how to grow them in a pot. What a full week of music! Serra had performances this week both for concert and jazz band and sounded great. The calendar says that school has two more weeks which isn't correct. Math and French wrapped this week as they are higher level classes that run with the community college,...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the leaves are coming in on the tree outside my window. I think, that along with the month of May, spring has arrived in Colorado. However, the Mets do come to town in a couple of weeks and our state has a tendency to greet the team with snow. What did we do this week? It was a full one. Serra had her usual extra rehearsals, a make-up exam in math, and took her AP Psychology exam. Last night was also Prom! She and her four friends got dressed up and attended along with having a sleepover. I guess we will see how much fun she...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Dare I say it might officially be spring here in Northern Colorado? It has been a glorious weather week with a bit of rain, sunshine, and cooler evening temperatures that are perfect for sleeping. The sun is also at the proper angle to interact with my prisms bathing the room in rainbows. I don't know why but I have always loved that. What did we do this week? Serra did some shopping in preparation for Prom activities as her group of friends have decided to attend. Thankfully she is practical, knowing that she will probably only wear said dress once, she spent only thirty dollars to create her look. Only four weeks of school remain....
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! With the sun shining brightly in the pale blue sky today you couldn't tell that Mother Nature loves her pranks. Yes, we had snow again Friday night. Not enough to be crazy or to cause damage to the budding trees but enough to make my daughters groan. I found in amusing and beautiful. As I told Daddy many years ago when we were caught with an unexpected snowstorm in September, "I can control many things, but there is nothing I can do about the weather." What did we do this week? Serra successfully played in two band festivals. The State concert band festival for her band was on Tuesday and they received a Superior with...
