Last Day!

 
 
 
It's hard to believe,
but today is my last day of school.
It's been a year of getting to know people,
peers and students alike.
It's been a good year
and I'll look forward to going back
in August.
But,
the next few months will be
spent
 
 
 
 
 
as lazy days
and some very busy days.
 
 
 


 
Soaking up the sun
and playing in the rain.



 
Enjoying the beauty of the season.

Love Birds?

 
 
 
What's better than
 
 
 
 
seeing and hearing a
Mourning Dove?

 
 
 
Seeing and hearing two
Mourning Doves,
of course!

Field Day

 
Being new to the
school I'm
working at,
I was able to
participate in
a yearly ritual.
 
Field Day.
An entire day,
spent out
at a ball park
that houses 6 fields.
The entire secondary
side of the school
departed at 8:15 a.m.
and returned at 2:45. p.m.
 
Teams are
determined by
what Advisory Group
the students attend.
Each team,
designed and wore
their own T-Shirts.
Even staff got in on the action
and did their own T-shirts too!
 
 
 
 
Two of my co-workers.
 
 
 
 
The competition was serious
and stiff.
But no team
took it to a higher degree
than this team:
 
 The teacher is the one
in the middle.
 
 
Getting ready to bat.
 
 

SCORE!
By the "Glitter Princesses."
Yes, the guys were all for
the name and pink shirts too!



As evidenced by this
"Coleman's Creepers"
it was a fun day for all!
 
 
The Celtic Warriors
took home the championship
and have thrown
down the gauntlet
for next years
challenge.
I can hardly wait
to see it all!
 
Unfortunately,
the staff lost to the Seniors
but they gave those
young'uns a run
for their money!

Spring Evenings

 
 
 
I didn't do anything to this photo,
it's a natural phenomenon and I
thought it was kind of cool.
 
 
As evidenced
by the sun,
spring has arrived.
 
The evenings lull
me to sleep
with it's chorus
of frogs
singing
and soft breezes blowing.
 
 
The story goes,
"Goodnight, Moon"
but I'm bidding the sun
goodnight.
 
 
 
 
 

 
If the skies remain
clear,
I'll be ready to say
"Hello, Moon!"

This Is...

 
One of the sweetest birds,
I know.
 
The American Goldfinch.
 
It's song is as sweet as they come.
They are living sunshine.

A Very Special Mother

 
I'm trying very hard
not to bother
this lovely
Mother.
But it was Mother's Day
and I could not resist
checking on her.
 
I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 










 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
These are all SOOC.
 
God Bless America.
