Chris Sings

THS had its third-term concert tonight, and Chris sang with the Acappella Choir.

Hope of Spring

Look what's popping up!

We were so inspired we went to Big Lots and bought chairs and a little table for the grape arbor,

and for the patio. Sergene and I sat out for half an hour watching Hero play in the snow and were almost too warm. We also bought an umbrella for the patio table. The patio set matches the one on the deck but is a little smaller.

Come visit us and have tea (or lemonade) out of doors.

D'you like my new colors, by the way? It's a bit bright, I suppose, but will do for now. And the width of the blog is variable, so you can see it wider, which for me makes it easier to read.

John Family History

John with Colin (and mama's shadow).

John with little Mary Ann, and aunties Ruth and Donna.

John and Mary Ann.

Hauling wood with Jody, I think 1982. Metamorphosis!

Dave Family History

I miss Dave and Devon. Here are pix that Cindy gave me at Christmas--from 27 years ago. He was (is) such a sweetie.

Snow Day

Chris and I had drinks on the deck just a day or two ago--but we're not up for a picnic now.


The pruning is postponed in the garden.


Hero objects to the snow.


Indoors with windows--the best of both worlds.

There was no power this morning at THS, so we had an explosion of teenagers at our house at 7:45 a.m. But they were open for the second class of the day (thank goodness, as I have work to do at home). (That's why I'm blogging, of course).

Therapy Blog

I posted a couple of things on my other blog, one a video clip of Temple Grandin. I wonder if she was at CSU when Dad was there working on his Masters?

Hey I thought this was sweet and funny*. By way of Andrew Sullivan.
