wrapping up the school year
As our 2019-20 school year starts to wrap up I am not sure what long term memories I will hold, from this new educational chapter called Distance Learning.
What is fresh in my mind were the positive little things like
frequent "brain breaks" to go on neighborhood Teddy Bear Hunts chalk art in the driveway to hopefully bring smiles to the gazillion walkers that stroll by daily Trolls World Tour viewing party, from the couch creativity to work with what you have in the fridge and pantry (we have somewhat made a dent in our 25 pound bag of rice) daily P.E., Coach Mommy and pretty much every corner of our house has been cleaned we haven't participated in honking neighborhood car parades or home hair cuts....yet...not sure if Andy can take it much longer- the hair cut that is.  |
 |
| Happy Hour routinely moved a wee bit earlier in the day |
 |
| guitar lessons through Zoom |
 |
| the guest bathroom became Andy's trial gardens for work |
 |
| one thing keeping him sane is keeping our yard looking immaculate |
 |
| multiple daily garden checks March |
 |
| things are blooming! May |
 |
| A favorite memory from our Spring Break staycation: playing in the rain on Easter Sunday. “storms make trees take deeper roots”
Side note: As a teacher this 59 second video is hysterical.

enjoyment, amusement, lighthearted
October, baptize me with leaves! Swaddle me in corduroy and nurse me with split pea soup. October, tuck tiny candy bars in my pockets and carve my smile into a thousand pumpkins. O autumn! O teakettle! O grace! ― Rainbow Rowell
