Mindset and choice

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's one of those days where bed is super cozy and I didn't want to get up. As usual in Colorado the bit of snow we got last week is all gone and the sun is out again. Full moon as well so both celestials were in the sky one morning, just like in Ladyhawke.  What did we do this past week? Serra had a band concert as warm up for the CBA concert band regional that is coming up next month. Their march was great fun and I hope they got some good feedback from the guest judges that were there from CSU. She gave me a bit of a health scare as she...

Changes and breathing

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's cold but clear in my little corner of the Fort today. Even though my sinuses are horribly dry with the lack of moisture in the air it felt cleansing to stand out in the breeze. I've been trying to take more deep breaths this week as well. What did we do this week? Serra made it to four of the five days of class so I will call that a win. She heard back from a professor at a university she is interested in for a school career project and hopefully will be able to have an interview with her this week about the field of Forensic Science. Serra is extremely interested in crime...

Be Still

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's cold but clear in my little corner of the Fort with a bright blue sky and no storms to be seen. Unlike this past week that saw seven inches of snow and very cold temperatures. It is the norm for things here, two days of messy weather for three days of sun. Stepped out my back door this morning as I do every day and saw a new friend as well. They were very quiet and still, simply enjoying the morning rather than rushing as the hare in the story always is. What did we do this last week? Serra turned sixteen on Monday! We had a great time out for lunch and had...

A colorful week

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is bright and the air is crisp outside the door in my little corner of the Fort. It's also very quiet here as Serra stayed the night with friends. Actually, did rather well with the quiet this time. I guess it's a good thing my laundry didn't get done yesterday and I could turn on the washer for some noise!  What did we do this week? It took Serra about an hour to make up the schoolwork from the three days that she was out. Probably a good thing considering she had a busy week with pep band for basketball, an extra weekly rehearsal for concert band and boxing class that she is...

A time warp

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It is cold, crisp and bright blue in my little corner of the Fort today. I know that it is wintertime, but it is good to see the sun after the week of grey skies. I am glad we are past the solstice and getting more light.  What did we do this week? With the holiday, ice storm and a stomach bug for Serra we stayed put. A lot of ginger in the forms of tea and ale along with soup and she was back to her usual self on Saturday. I imagine talking with big sis helped on Friday night as well. Today will be spent catching up on the three days she missed...
