After today, there is only one and a half days left of school, and excitement is mounting! Is it me, or did June fly by? Maybe it’s my life that is flying by and I should just lie down and sing “Cat’s in the Cradle,” “Landslide,” and “Sunrise Sunset” over and over for a while. […]

This morning I got home from yoga a bit earlier than normal, at about 6:20, and this is what my back yard looked like: One hour later I took “weed the garden” off my to-do list. Well, the snow’s stopped now and I’m sure it will be melted by the time I pick the kids […]
