Happy 4th of July!!

I hope everyone has (or has had!) a happy, safe and fun weekend!!

Snow Day

Yesterday morning it was sunny.  And I saw the grass.  It wasn't green...it was sort of a brownish-greenish color. But I saw it. 
The last few days we have enjoyed (dare I say it) almost balmy temperatures.  Last Saturday I rode in my car with the window cracked just enough so I could smell the air. I just knew that spring was on its way! 

Then this:



Another snow day.
Don't get me wrong!  I love a snow day just as much as the next teacher!
But I am over the snow part.

Happy Holidays

We are enjoying a white Christmas this year in Michigan (it doesn't happen every year, surprisingly).  It does make it look a little more "Christmas-y", though. 

I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season! 

True Colors

Fall is here!  Today we are experiencing an unusually warm day--the high is supposed to be about 78.  But most days it gets to the high 60's...maybe low 70's.  Perfect weather in my book.

I do love Michigan in the fall.  School has started...football is in full swing (see previous post for those ramblings)...the colors of the leaves are truly amazing...and the temps are getting cooler.  I like the spring (finally some GREEN after all the snow has melted and all we've seen is brown for sooooo long...and spring also means my birthday!), but my favorite season has to be fall.

I am going to a senior photo session today at the Nature Center.  The colors are going to be beautiful!! 

One of my favorite seasons...

Yep, it's that time again...there's a crispness in the air (or mugginess, on some days...this IS Michigan, after all), the smell of freshly-mowed grass (or the plastic-y smell of turf), cleats, pads, jerseys, mouthguards in a pile in the living room, the sounds of ESPN (the default channel on our tv). 

It's football season.

I do love high school and college football.  Pro, not as much.  In high school and college there is such a spontaneity...anything can happen.  The underdog sometimes surprises us.  There is high emotion, and it's so real.  The pulse of the drum line you can feel in your chest.  The smell of grilled hot dogs.  Okay, I think I need to stop.

How many days til Friday?

It's been awhile...

I didn't mean to go a whole year without posting.  Time flies, right?  I never really knew what to write.  It always sounds dumber on the blog than when it was in my head.  I am going to try harder to post more frequently.  Thanks for your patience!
