Here's the test... If I am 5 minutes late for class (which rarely happens, but every now and then the copier jams, a kid has a crisis or an admin needs "a word") are they:
A) Running out into the parking lot throwing a soccer ball at one another.
B) Grabbing each other and trying to perform...
Got home last night from Bible study and as I was locking up pens for the night I noticed one of my hens on the ground outside the shed. So I looked down and also noticed little chick noises and a couple little chick heads poking out. I now have 6 more chicks 😏 (she most likely incubated and...
Good morning!
Smoke is finally gone.
1st full week of classes complete. (Last week was only three days)
4 English (2 freshman, 2 sophomore), 1 choir, 1 art, and 1 Bible...it's a lot, but we are all doing extra this year. Hiring new teachers has not been easy.
I'm glad to be back in high...
Good morning!
Well, we went all summer without being doused in smoke from some wildfire or another but last night it rolled in. Ugh. There's a fire in Trinity county - about 2 hours to our west - and since we are at the top of the big geographic basin that makes up most of California, it pours...
It went well - though not without those things inherent in a workshop show... My actors and band were troopers though, as I kept giving them rewrites or changing scenery, lighting, choreography all the way through. Had good audience turn out each night too, so that was great (some folks came...
Good morning Pond!!
Whew! Wild summer!!
We are all well here. Tired, but well. Closed my show Tuesday in Sacramento.
Teachers have to be back to school this morning.
Good morning, Pond. Hope all is well. Sold some roosters this weekend. I don't always love the way people treat them - even if they are planning to eat them. Certain types of folks are a bit more rough on them than others. Sigh. I know it's cultural - but...
My faithful Toby rooster and his lovely sister MJ both came to me shipped in a box. Not gonna lie - I worried and worried...especially since they spent a full 24 hours on the Tarmac at LAX before they even began their trip. But, they were both healthy and have done great (they're 6 years old now!).
Hope camp was super successful!
Oh my goodness, so many - SO MANY broodies this year!! I had a jail crowding issue - had to let some out on early release...but the recidivism rate is high. 😂
Five mornings a week w the "Singin' in the Rain" kids in town, then weekends w the "Job Story" adults...
The whole water crisis here is rough. Our water district has us all restricted to 50% usage, so, of course, every time we turn around, there's a new leak somewhere in the irrigation system...
Or, like last night, the dogs came running up on the deck all wet and muddy. What???
Apparently, in...
Hey Pond!
@pennyJo1960 great start!!
@Alaskan the kid stuff...it all goes by so very quickly. 😟
@room onthebroom - pics of you in your band uniform???
Well, I survived a pretty hectic few days - ran 2 rehearsals for "Jōb" in Sacramento and did the speaking/music part of a women's retreat in...
Hey Pond! My 1.5 days of summer start tomorrow. 😂🤪
It's really okay. Naval gazing and down time always seem like they'll be fun. But in the end, I'd rather be busy. As long as I snag an occasional nap, I'll be okay.
Here is a chicken picture. The field will only be green a few more days. Then...
My thoughts, exactly. I'm pretty happy with the way things have gone here - lots of pullets compared to cockerels, but we definitely don't waste our cockerels.
The duck babies are so stinking cute!!
It's raining! It's been raining since last night! It's June! (Of course it's supposed to be 103⁰ by the end of the week...)
