Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is bright and the sky is clear outside my window today as I watch a squirrel bounce from branch to branch in the tree across the parking lot. He shows no fear as the limbs sway when he hits it, riding the wave until it calms. I don't know what treats he's finding as he climbs higher in the bare branches, stretching to the very end of the limbs but he looks happy. What did we do this past week? Holidays always throw things off a bit and Wednesday felt like Saturday. An unexpected visit from Daddy for a few days also made me lose track of time. Serra got her wish of...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's quiet and sunny so far in my little corner of the Fort today. Mother Nature still doesn't realize that it is November which tells me March is going to be extra snowbound come spring. What did we do this past week? Serra had a busy one. Jazz band has started rehearsals twice a week and she had a session of extra practice to prepare to play at the Rocky Mountain Music Festival. Both of Fossil's bands along with several others played concert pieces on Friday and got critiqued by a guest instructor. Her bonus for the day from it? Not having to go to math class. The district called off school for the whole...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Been dealing with the time change this week. I don't mind the additional light shining through in the mornings but the dark at five pm is tough! The extra darkness makes me want to go to bed super early and that just wastes the day. What trouble did we cause this week? Serra had a short week with having Monday off according to the schedule and staying home Wednesday with not feeling well. Thankfully she is a great student and has no problem keeping up in class. It is interesting how differently her teachers describe her based on the subject. I do have to say that in her first two years at Fossil she has...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! So far the weather and the calendar are fighting in my little corner of the Fort as we are still having warm days and cool nights. It's also time change weekend. My biggest relief with this is that it no longer happens on Monday morning! We never knew it was coming when I was a kid. Serra is being lazy and enjoying the extra hour in bed. I don't mind it so much when getting up early gives me views like this: Granted I won't see Orion in the morning unless I get up even earlier but this isn't so bad. This past week! It was a quiet one for Serra with school cruising along....
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I'm a bit slow to greet the morning today with the wet and grey outside my window. Or it could be from staying up late last night with baseball and the marching band championships. It's probably that I needed some extra rest and a bed with fresh sheets is extra comfy. What did we do this week? This was one of those weird ones. The week felt both long and short. Time flew by but Monday felt like it was ages ago. I guess that's what happens when it is quiet. Serra's big event was getting her hair done. She experimented with color over the summer and fall going from blue to purple and rainbow...
