Extra time

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's quiet here in my little corner of the Fort. the sun is slowly creeping up into the sky and the owl that lives in the barn across the street just said "goodnight". Sleep has been elusive as I have been awake since three. Perhaps as a mortal I feel the need to make the most of all the time I can. What did we do this week? My attempts to make use of the Memorial Day Holiday for rest failed miserably as I could not relax on Monday. I suppose however that rest can mean many different things and finishing some projects was rest in its own way for me. Serra got a wild...

Recharging

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's cool and cloudy in my little corner of the Fort and I love it. Somehow we are having April's weather here at the end of May. I may be desert bred however I was not ready to jump into 90* every day just yet. I'll take this and the possibility of rain any day. It's good that the last weekend of May is a holiday weekend as it is one of the busiest months of the year. What did we do this week? Serra finished up her Sophomore year on Monday as that was the last day she had anything that needed to be finished or turned in. Now the trick is finding things...

The season of transitions

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The world outside is bright with sunshine and green with the moisture we got over the weekend. Yes Colorado had another round of snow. Those of you not from the area are saying "What?! It's May!" While those of us that live here are saying "Yep, again." I am beginning to wonder what the state has against the New York Mets since it happens often when they come to town. What did we do this week? The last week of school is always the hardest. Not because of subject matter but the lack of engagement and things going on. Monday there was no school at all. I'm either a slacker mom or a cool mom...

A high energy week

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Running late today but with good reason. When all of you love Marvel and find that the latest movie is at the drive-in you go. It also didn't hurt that we were curious about the second feature and it was much better than expected. The fun parts of the drive-in? People watching and talking theories during the film. Crazy thing is I still got the same amount of sleep and managed to be partially awake to watch the rainbows chase across my room. What did we do this week? Serra had a busy one. Four extra rehearsals to prepare for two concerts. One of the best things this pair of directors has done is to...

A week of treats

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Bit of a slow one here today but that's what happens when you wake up with a massive sinus headache. It's going to take a bit but will hopefully end soon. At least my favorite sign of spring has arrived as I spotted some lilacs out and about yesterday. What did we do this week? Serra had a quiet one and tried to have a migraine that we were able to corral rather quickly. We are still not quite sure what triggers them. This coming week is a busy one with four extra rehearsals and two concerts. The end of the school year brings all of the year end festivities.  Our big treat this week...
