Choices

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! June weather has been an odd one so far with lots of rain. I even made soup for dinner yesterday because of the cooler temperatures. Personally, I love it and know we could use the moisture. Unlike the massive thunderstorm I slept through last month these storms have been the gentle kind of showers that I love. Summer may not be in full swing with the weather, but it is with the girls' schedules. Sleeping late, gaming and the occasional jaunt around town with each other or friends is keeping them occupied. Truly I don't mind it at all. Life and our list of summer tasks that needs to be done will kick back up...

Rhythms

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! A little slow this morning with a late night as getting to sleep after the baseball game took a while. Crazy as that was, I still woke up at six like clockwork. With the sun shining today it makes the storm we drove back up through a wild memory. Even though the pea sized hail was super loud on the car it was soft enough to not cause any damage to my beast.  What have we been up to this week? Both girls now have no rhythm as school is finished for the year and I let Serra stay home the last week since there was nothing going on. She always does better physically and...

Finishes

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...

On the river

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,...

Anomaly

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...
