Sanctuary

Hello, secret corner of the web,

Here I am again in what I like to call my "sanctuary" time. The kiddies are at lunch, and I have all my papers organized for the next subject, Spelling.

Today is what Winnie the Pooh would call a blustery day. The leaves are dancing and the raindrops are cascading down in angles through the whipping wind. I had to hold my umbrella at a forty-five degree angle on the way to lunch, and I am so thankful I am wearing clogs today. Some of the kids don't even have coats! They are drenched, and it is hard not to tell them not to run back and forth.

I walked outside my classroom a minute ago and there was an orchestra of croaking. I felt like the courtyard was wired with Dolby surround sound. The frogs are talking to each other, and I like to imagine that they are asking each other how they are doing and if they are ready for winter- just like we do.

Not much to write about today except that I am ready for Christmas, but first, two weeks 'til my birthday!
