Was loving the sun's rays as I was driving to school this morning.

Garden Finds

Found these in my mom's garden and trees... they looked too good to just leave them there!

Tape it up!

I'm loving my checkered duck tape that I used to tape my writing folders.

The classroom set up begins

Here is what my classroom looks like today. The next couple of weeks will be spent getting things ready. I need to connect with my co-teacher before I can start getting furniture set up and put things on the wall.

Classroom DIY

I'm going to take pictures of my kids at school with these on and use them as their name tags for my guided reading groups!


Zoo!


It's really too bad that the animals here kept in cages. The metal bars got in the way of a lot of pictures!

Waiting no more.

My plan was to go back to school on Monday and start getting things ready, but I just couldn't hold in my excitement! I went back today just for a little bit and got a whole lot done in the reading recovery room!

The before

The now... still have a few things I want to do yet (including bringing in that fancy yellow filing cabinet)

Pets

I have 2 pets in my apartment. I don't think that I'm actually supposed to.. but they are really quiet so no one will know!!

My beta fish, Pete

Banana Dog!

Ok, so maybe only one of them are living!

Scenes of the country

I went for a short bike ride in the country. The sights are a little bit different than what you see in the city or town. Love it!

It`s harvest time

Driving home from the city, there were a lot of signs that we have officially entered `harvest season`

Leaving the Lake

One last look out over the lake before we headed back to ``the south``

Northern Lights

This was the first time I`ve attempted to photograph the Northern Lights. I will for sure have to try again another night as I am not fully satisfied with the results.

The long drive

I headed up to the farthest north I've ever ventured... to Paint Lake. A friend of mine has a family cabin. These were a few of the sites along the way.

Little Limestone Park

Crafty Day!

So I saw this on pintrest quite a while ago and didn't know where I would put this. Well, I have the perfect spot in the reading recovery room at school for it so I went to work trying to recreate it.

All was going well until I put hot glue on the wrong thing... my finger!

Long awaited

So I've been thinking about this shot for quite some time and today I finally got it.

If you are wondering how I managed to get this shot... let's just say, I made sure no cars were coming!

Coming Home

When I got home after being at the lake for a week I found some very lovely flowers on my kitchen table. They are still going strong and look just as nice.

It looked like it might finally rain here, but no luck. I tried to capture the rainbow instead.
