Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I am loving the current cooler temperatures here in my little corner of the Fort. The short spots of rain have been wonderful and the dip in temperatures helps greatly with sleep at night. It would be great if it would stay this way for a few more weeks. What happened this week? Serra had three days of school that were all very quiet. Since she is so good with being on top of her work I've picked her early every day as one time slot is a necessary study hall that she clearly has never needed. Two days next week for an English presentation, French quiz and to turn in her books. Hopefully she...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I think we might finally have proper Spring happening outside my window today. Soft, cool and possible rain in the afternoon. Pretty perfect weather if you ask me. What did we do this past week? Serra finished up jazz band with the group making a recording to send out to a festival for a possible trip next year. I adore the new directors at Fossil that even with all of the challenges this year have made the kids feel appreciated and loved. It's going to a be a new program moving forward. I know that if not for their relaxed, happy style Serra would not be continuing in band. Only five more class days over...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is shining but it is chilly and the forecast is calling for one last blast of cold this week before things stay warm. Until then I'll stay bundled up in my pashmina afghan. This week! I think that both students and teachers are ready for the year to be finished with as much time as Serra spent outside on Friday. Every class that she was in went outside and she proclaimed that she got enough vitamin D to last the year. In reality she only has ten more days over the next three weeks to attend in person so I think she'll make it. She is taking two summer courses online but as...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Spring is happening here in my little corner of the Fort. Blue skies, sunshine, green buds coming in on the trees and cool breezes that I hope stick around. That 80* afternoon school run is too hot just yet! The sun and my window prisms are also in concert so that I get to see rainbows every morning. I never realized before how much color has always been a part of my life but like a friend told me a couple of years ago I simply wasn't ready to see it yet. This week! Serra is counting down the number of days she has remaining in the semester along with giving teachers her own kind...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is shining and the sky is blue and maybe the snow has decided to move on...we'll call this Possibly Spring. Why only possibly? Because I know we still have the possibility of another bit of snow especially with the chilly wind yesterday. Not quite shorts weather but we're getting there. What did we do this last week? I think Serra's desire to be finished with the year is beginning to poke through at school. Nothing quite like getting called out by the teacher for not paying attention but considering she had already finished the activity that he was in the process of explaining he couldn't really respond. Not the teacher's fault for the...
