Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Snowpacalypse has finally arrived in my little corner of the Fort. I was rather disappointed when I woke Saturday and there was no snow. Today is making up for it. It's heavy, it's wet and it's glorious! I'm sure I'll be out in it again later today clearing the steps even though we're not going anywhere and shaking my tree so it doesn't break. What did we do this last week? Serra had a couple of tests and finished up the quarter strong. This week is spring break, not that you would know that from looking outside. Always good when the time change falls with it. When I was a kid the time change was...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! So far quiet and peaceful in my little corner of the Fort. The sky is blue and the sun is shining. Yesterday I was able to turn off the heat and open the doors to let some fresh air in. Spring is elusive here and this time of year you never know what you are going to get so I say enjoy it. Especially considering the forecast is saying rain and snow next weekend. How was the week that was? Expected if you can said that during the year of uncertainty that this one has been. As expected quarantine is in effect on campus for Amanda. Thankfully it's only a building quarantine so she is...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Colorado is showing both sides of her personality outside with the sun shining but the air being cold enough to show your breath. If it were just a little warmer I would consider sitting out on the patio to listen to the stillness. One of the things I love about getting up early is the quiet potential you can feel in the silence. How is life and what did we do last week? Amanda came through her first exams with flying colors. Either this semester's classes are easier or she's finding her stride with being in the center of campus rather than on the outskirts. Serra is having a great time with band and is...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Sun is shining bright and happy outside my window. As per usual in the Fort the snow is here today and gone tomorrow. I will happily take two days of snow and cold when the trade off is five that are bright and sunny. Stomped around in it a bit this week and was surprised at how good it felt to get outdoors. What else were we up to last week? Amanda completed her first round of tests for the semester and things are looking good. She also completed the first round of interviews to become a calculus mentor for next semester. Yes she fully admits to being a total math nerd especially considering she's...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Brrrr is the word of the day in my little corner of the Fort. Snow for Valentine's is no surprise as it happens often but -8* this morning is another story. What did we do this last week? If the dog days of summer arrive in August than the dog days of winter arrive in February. After the excitement of Christmas, getting Amanda back to school and Serra's birthday things get pretty quiet. Routine has also changed so much over the past year that sometimes it takes a bit to remember what day it is as well! I'm very ready for the current craft project to be finished. A lot more time went into it...
