When it's springtime in the Rockies

On Tuesday I wore a short-sleeved shirt and sandals and rejoiced in the warm weather. This morning I woke up to snow and it hasn't stopped during the last three hours. Snow in April is just sick and wrong.

I know. And it just keeps piling up and piling up. This is not fair AT ALL.

Blech. Here at school we are having yet another inside recess. The kids are insane and hyper and cranky and teh last thing I want is to be cooped up during lunch with their hormonal little selves. Whew. Aren't I just a cheery teacher? :)

And at 9:30 the rain is still coming down. I echo your sentiments.

Normally, I like rain, like nice springy April showers, but this, this extreme weather was unnecessary in April.

Here are two thoughts:
Thought #1
Students in elementary school will run and scream everyday---teachers just hope that the students will be outside at recess when that occurs.

Thought #2
When I was a child growing up at 7000 feet elevation in the lovely Rocky Mountains, there was exactly one Easter Sunday that I remember with bare grass showing in our yard. Most of our family's Easter photos (with all six sisters lined up in our new dresses) is taken in a yard filled with snow. It rarely melted until May...like the second week. This is why I've tried to live the rest of my life since then in Southern California or close to it.

Happy, Happy Blog-day Foxy Dear

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of my blog. I had no idea where my life would go when I started this blog, and it's fun for me to read back through the archives and remember feelings and events that I have already forgotten. I think the most surprising thing about blogging that I have discovered is the sense of community. I have about fifty blogs that I follow somewhat regularly; many of them are people I haven't ever met in person. I still consider them to be my friends. I've been very grateful for all the virtual support I've received from so many people who don't really even "know" me. Miss Nemesis recently celebrated her blog's special day by asking lurkers to come out of the woodwork and reveal who they were and how they found her blog. She got 52 comments. If you want to make my day, see if you can top her numbers. Maybe then I can change my blognym to "Queen of the Universe".

Debate 2008

One of the features of our new apartment is a working garbage disposal. It's been a few years since we've had one, and Mr. Fob and I are suddenly discovering a new source of marital conflict. According to Mr. Fob, movies and television have taught him that you should never stick your hand in the garbage disposal, even if it is turned off. I prefer to rely on common sense and the fact that the off switch means "off" and stick my hand in to make sure no utensils are hiding before turning it on. Mr. Fob thinks I'm crazy. What do you think? Do you stick your hand in the garbage disposal or do you like to grind up your spoons and forks?

Reading Roundup: January and February 2022

Vanishing Edge by Claire Kells I think this is the first book in a new mystery series, and I plan on reading at least the next one. I did not figure the mystery out until the very end and I had a great time reading this book. The pacing is good, the protagonist is relatable, and it almost convinced me to do more hiking and camping because of the descriptions of the setting. The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together by Heather McGhee This book was a little dense and slow to read, but filled with a bunch of interesting insights that helped me see things in a new way. It connected well with other books I've read recently about history and racism. The author's arguments are compelling and well-supported by the data and I recommend giving it a read. 56 Days by Catherine Ryan Howard I guess that after two years of COVID pandemic it's not surprising that there will now be novels using it as a plot device. This one jumped around quite a bit betwee...
