Sunshine, human nature and learning

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The songbirds were not awake at 5 am but I was. Cool air has winter still trying to stick around even with the 70 degree temperatures we had yesterday. It would be nice to have a bit of spring instead of jumping straight to the heat of summer. Granted any type of time outside regardless of the temperature sees me get some kind of sunburn! What were we up to this week? Serra had a couple of rough days but recovered enough in time to play at her first Jazz concert. Have to say that it was one of the best concerts I've been to for both the music and the relaxed nature of it....

Spring, a new friend and March Madness

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The birds have been singing since five am and I just watched three robins hop around the backyard. Hopefully that means the Spring Equinox is really here and that any more moisture we get will be rain and not snow. I'll need to find some lilacs when they bloom this time around. What have we been up to this week? Serra has been on Spring Break! I felt bad about not planning or really doing anything but she has appreciated the down time. Extra sleep, bowls of chili and Animal Crossing has been the norm along with a few car rides and boxing twice this week. I know that she is not going to want...

In between two breaks

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Quiet and cool here in my little corner of the Fort. While I appreciate the moisture from the snowstorm this week it would be great if Mother Nature could switch it up to rain for the remainder of Spring. As for the quiet I imagine everyone is still sleeping off the time change. Have to admit I am a little over the back and forth every year especially on the Spring one. I know staying up later than usual to watch a movie didn't help either. Serra wrapped up the week on a strong note finishing her band audition for placement next year and completing her research project for STEM class. This coming week is...

March weather and doing all the things

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The calendar has turned from February to March which in Colorado means...Snow! Yes, it is snowing outside my door today two weeks before the Spring Equinox. So, in other words the weather is fairly normal for this time of year. Appropriately to be in my Christmas pajamas! What did we do this week? This is one of those that felt extremely long, not in a bad way but Monday was ages ago. Serra had a bit of a rough one fighting through another migraine. This one lasted for a good three days. She was able to participate in the concert band's CBA performance where they received a Superior ranking and will be moving on to...

Lots of little bits

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Cold and clear in my little corner of the Fort and Serra is taking advantage of the morning by sleeping in. Makes it very quiet today. What did we do this week? For Serra it was a quiet week at school unless you count the water pipe in the gym wing breaking again. I don't mind snow but sub-zero temperatures are not my favorite. The big thing she was excited about all week actually got her out of bed on a Saturday at 630 in the morning! A couple of weeks ago I mentioned an alpaca festival down in Longmont. I thought maybe I could convince her that it would be fun but once I...
