Unfortunately for many of us, the warming trend always falls on the weekday. So to call in sick or not to cut class, that's the question! <BR/><BR/>I'm a few of those who can plan the schedule flexibly so if I know there will be a warming trend and sunshine galore, I'll pack a sandwich, a book, a camera, and get my dog ready to go out as soon as class is over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-67549739478872838552007-05-02T19:24:00.000-04:002007-05-02T19:24:00.000-04:00Just dropping by to say I've voted for you and man...Just dropping by to say I've voted for you and man, that water looks refreshing! :DSusan Helene Gottfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778191943289129869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-21757394709851325362007-05-02T17:39:00.000-04:002007-05-02T17:39:00.000-04:00I can't begin to count the number of times my husb...I can't begin to count the number of times my husband has commented on the beauty of how the colors of the sky and the changes in the weather or season play on the river behind our new house!Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-62127318761738943532007-05-02T17:38:00.000-04:002007-05-02T17:38:00.000-04:00I don't have a caption, but I can't count the numb...I don't have a caption, but I can't count the number of times my husband has said something this year about how the color of the sky plays against the water on the river with each change of the weather and/or season!Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-23918714778283725212007-05-02T16:53:00.000-04:002007-05-02T16:53:00.000-04:00I've been thinking about this one- how flower peta...I've been thinking about this one- how flower petals fall off the stem so that it's beauty is now gone.

Even though it was August, we woke up to find ice all over our chairs and tent. It had been a nasty cold night, and I hadn't slept well. I woke up before anyone, which is pretty odd because I'm a complete sleep hound.<BR/><BR/>I was feeling pretty bitter in the morning, and I knocked the ice off of my chair looking for a place to sit my tired, crabby self down. <BR/><BR/>And then I saw the sun coming up and hitting the mountain above our campsite. We were just below treeline, so most everything above us was "naked" rocks and scrub. And, it was beautiful to watch the sun moving over the mountain top, and then the trees, and then into our camp.<BR/><BR/>The day turned terrible, with a downpour that flooded our tent and forced us to pack out in the rain. But, for a few moments, that was the most amazing place in the world to be. <BR/><BR/>Is that what you meant?<BR/><BR/>I'll go vote for you...Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18366314424162217011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-4192342547442041852007-05-02T00:35:00.000-04:002007-05-02T00:35:00.000-04:00Temporary Loveliness: A Kansas sunsetTemporary Loveliness: A Kansas sunsetLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05334129707341089450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-9881737331191023652007-05-02T00:00:00.000-04:002007-05-02T00:00:00.000-04:00Of course, I will vote for you!Of course, I will vote for you!kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-22193116509661321262007-05-01T23:52:00.000-04:002007-05-01T23:52:00.000-04:00Congrats on the nominations!

Something you will never be able to do again. That's why I scrapbook; to preserve those moments. Not just the birthdays and special events, but the everyday moments.
