Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Well, the temperatures are not quite agreeing that it is fall yet with our fifty degree swings every day, but the trees are. It has only taken a few short weeks for the foliage outside my window to change from lush green to gold to almost bare. One thing I do love about my schedule this time of year are the beautiful colors at sunrise. What have we been up to this week? It was the start of the second quarter for Serra. She had a musical week as Jazz band rehearsals began, and the concert bands had a guest clinician for three days. First time ever she has been told to "play louder" and "fill...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The colors keep changing and the temperatures keep dropping as we move into fall. We actually had a freeze warning last night and several of my gardener friends were saving the last of their harvest. Last weekend was the full moon, and it was quite the sight on Monday morning. What did we do this past week? Serra had a short week of classes as it is the end of the first quarter! It doesn't mean it wasn't busy though. Driving practice Monday, band concert Tuesday, and PSAT test early Wednesday makes for a full week. She did not have finals on Thursday and so I let her have an extra day. Saturday, we had...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Up a bit earlier than usual today. I probably could have gone back to sleep but then would have woken in a rush to talk here. Instead, I took my time getting up enjoying the cooler breeze through the mostly closed window. Fall is finally here, not only in the temperature but the leaves slowly changing their colors in the tree outside my window. What did we do this week? Serra started off a little rocky with a stomach bug last weekend that lingered into Monday. It is good that high school is so easy for her that she can take a day and not get behind but bad because she is so ready to...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I believe it might be possible that fall has finally come to stay in my little corner of Colorado. The days haven't been near as hot, and the nights are blessedly cool. This weekend's sleep has been wonderful because of it, even with the unusual dream this morning. I don't know of anyone that I would inherit a mansion and grounds from to turn into a bookstore/cafe/craft utopia complete with dye garden, wood shop, classrooms, and space for some of my local friends that do such things to help manage it, but it was lovely. What did we do this week? Serra did an outstanding job on her cat dissection practical and has been enjoying The...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I am beginning to wonder if we have finally found fall with our weather. The days are still a bit too warm, but the nights are getting to be just right. Cool breeze through the window that makes you want to snuggle in and stay in bed. Even with this wonderful weather sleep is elusive and short, but that might just be how it is now. What have we been up to for the past two weeks? A short school week for Serra was made even shorter by hopping on an airplane. We went out for a visit! While I understand and appreciate RPI's push to get students into the work force to start a...
