Really?? Snow today?  Tonight its supposed to get down to the teens.  In two days I take 40 students to the beach for a week.  Well, I am as ready as I can be - the trip appears ready to roll.  It will be interesting to not be totally in charge with 3 schools going.  I love this trip, but it do take a toll.  Like this spring snow, I am excited to rage against the cold and plunge into a wave and let it carry me to shore.  Like the grass beneath the snow, I am not dead yet:)  Here's a few thoughts penned down this odd morning:

Snowflakes float down like memory
upon this spring on top o' me
drifting swirling upon green grass
frost streams streak across the glass
all but trees declared our May
the false warmth of our yesterday
faintly radiates through your ice cold mask
its here our souls are put to task
I purse my lips exhale my breath
spring snow is just a little death

Christmas Holidays

Here's how the Christmas break began... We had exam week which is not exactly the most fun week of them all, but I had finished my exams the week before so it wasn't too bad. The weather reports were saying that we were going to get a nice snow and it would start that last day - Friday. Well, Friday looked fine - we had a half day because only one exam had to be given. As the kids left, there was a nice rain falling. I thought this kind of stunk because I rode my bike to school - I was ready for cold, but I didn't relish a wet ride home. I did however, haul out the mountain bike because I hoped there would be a dusting of snow for my trail ride home. This will become a bit prophetic later. Well, we teachers move to the cafeteria for our Christmas luncheon - it was nice - great food. While there we notice that in the rain are a few snowflakes.... Well, lunch ends and I check my box and take the outside path to my class. There is an inch of slush on the parking lot. Hmmm. I t

Dave, me, Reid before we froze our butts off.  The beard helped.  Its gone now.  Zoe is happy about that. Esme already sticking her tongue out at the camera? Trio of goobers Trio of cuties Jon - after the dino egg pinata - kind of stormtrooperish - this is an old pic from Zoe's birthday - we just found these on a camera.  We realized that we never did anything with them because it was just after these were taken that the blood clot was diagnosed.  That was 3 months ago. Dino egg pinata - Zoe's 5th birthday.  What craftsmanship on the egg! Zoe's birthday, obviously Nice cake Zoe!  What kind of an artist could do that? MawMaw, Zoe, Ash, Adia Ashley's masterpiece - the sock horse.  It is really amazing what Ash can do with almost nothing. I just like this, no real reason.  It makes me smile. OK, I started this a week ago - and now I had to go back and redo it because it is now all old news.  And I'm in a rush, so it won't be too detailed.... but last weekend, the 3
