October was a beautiful month in Colorado. For the first time in a number of years, there wasn’t any snow to dampen our leafy spirits, nor did we contend with any major wind. The result was a luscious landscape of autumn, and we got to enjoy it for weeks. When Anne of Green Gables said […]

Well, August brought the heat! The sun was shining, and we were baking in the ninety-degree temperatures. So, bring it on, September. I am happy you are right around the corner. But first, there were many sweet things this month worth a mention. Of course, we all got back to school! To me, back to […]
Thank you, July. You were so good. This month started off with a bang! Jason’s brother, wife, and son came from the Indianapolis area for a surprise 4th of July visit. We hosted a little neighborhood block party this year, and we were busy blowing up the bounce house, getting the grills ready, and setting […]
Oh, where did you go, June? I can’t decide what caused the month to disappear so rapidly. Was it our deep yearning to “return to normal” that caused us to fill the days and go, go, go? Or, maybe my desperate need for this summer to linger and last just backfired? Regardless, here we are, […]
Goodbye July, hello August! July was a good month ’round here, but we are ready to move on, too. (Dear summer 2020, you were really long.) June was a bit of a drag, but July restored our spirits. Though things were different, they were also a good different. And, as stated in previous posts, in […]
Hello, July. I see you creeping around the corner. June has been both long and short for me. It’s been both hard and good, too. As always, in things of greatest importance, we are well. My family is healthy, as are our neighbors and friends. I hope you and yours are, too. I lost a […]
Well hello computer. It’s been a while since I’ve been here. Truth be told, I haven’t wanted to spend any more time on the screen than needed. After hours of webex meetings, grading, and recording instructional videos, my eyes were done for. Burning. Over it. However, I am coming up for air! Memorial Day has […]
March was a month to remember, wasn’t it? I will vividly recall the Thursday evening I spent in my classroom packing up my school bag after being told to take everything I might need in case I couldn’t come back to the building. Even then, I did not clearly understand what was ahead. I said […]
I tried, January and February, I really did. I tried to like you. I tried to embrace you. I am sorry. I am ready to say goodbye. And darn you, February, going and adding one more day to yourself this year (Happy Birthday, Leap Year Babies). I know that gratitude is the key to happiness… […]
Autumn has passed in such a beautiful and quick manner. Quite suddenly, we are buying turkeys, pinning Christmas shopping ideas, and sailing straight toward a New Year. Fall is my favorite season by far. After the hot Colorado sun of summer, autumn’s 60 degree days and dim morning light always gives me flutters of excitement […]
