What happened to Spring?

Posted by: dateacher on: April 26, 2009

So what happened to spring?  Usually in Virginia we get to have a few weeks of sunny days with mild temps and a breeze here and there, oh – and the occasional rain shower.
Spring 2009 seems to have decided to not show her pretty face.  Just this past week, Wednesday or Thursday, we had cool [...]

This is what I’m dealing with today, and it’s one or the other.  Could it be both?  Could my allergies to pollen have weakened my immune system making it easier for the cold my husband had last week infect me?  I bet so!

So it’s January 17 2009….where I live it’s FREEZING – well actually it’s below freezing.  I guess it could be worse; I could live in Minnesota, but I don’t.  I live in Virginia, and yes, we get our share of all four seasons, but really 14 degrees and over night it was in the single [...]

A dog’s life

Posted by: dateacher on: November 7, 2008

In my neck of the woods this November 7 has been absolutely beautiful.  I’m in shorts and a short sleeve shirt, sitting on my deck watching my dog (Copper) play with the neighbor’s dog (Max).  It’s too much fun watching two fur-balls chase each other through green grass and falling leaves.   It’s also very distracting [...]
