Road Trip

Sites from our 1st day on the road:

Charlottesville, Virginia is a beautiful place.

The Bright Side of Summer Storms

This spring has been a rather moist season. While it is so easy to complain about the rain and/or afternoon storms, there is a bright side to all the rain. Beside the drought easing up,

beautiful plump blueberries are covering my bushes!

The bright side of these:

are rather tasty muffins!


Guess what we are doing tomorrow.


Road trip time to visit our son :)

Spreading the Word

This morning I received an exciting email about a FREE photo editing class over at the Jessica Sprague website. She is offering the free class in honor of her 2nd anniversary. Starting June 22 you can register and the class begins July 6th. What a generous offer! Check it out!

It is Almost Here!

Tests have been taken...


Field day is over....

Student work has been removed from the walls....

Lockers have been cleaned out... (amazing how much stuff can be jammed into lockers)

Students have been picked up....

All that is left are some teacher work days. Then I can get back to some sewing, knitting, baking and napping. It seems like ages since I've had the time for these activities! New recipes and projects have been gathering dust.

The Sounds of Summer

Can you hear it? Summer is almost here!

Bees are buzzing...

Mowers are mowing...

Flowers are blooming....

Dough is rising...

A friend gave me a batch of bread starter. I feed it every five days and the starter has not been a disappointment at all. So far, we have enjoyed bread, cinnamon rolls and cinnamon bread. Yum, yum!
Come on, summer! I am ready!
