Another Moon Journal


Here we go again.

Because our school operates on a block schedule, I got all new kids on Monday and am teaching an elective called Nature Journaling.

Because the 26th was the night of the new moon, I had them start their Moon Journals. I always do the assignments along with the kids and decided this year to keep it in my regular journal. On the left will be my day and on the right will be the moon's progress.

Of course, a new moon means that we can't see it so I told the kids just to look at the sky any time after school. I went out at 4:45 pm and captured a pretty early-evening cloud. I had a hard time to take the picture because of all the telephone wires around here.

A Slow Week


Not much was going on this week. I was so desperate for stuff to put on this page that I snagged the "Safe Handling" sticker from the meat market!

I used the patriotic colors to commemorate the Inauguation.

And the bubble stickers of Mt. Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty were on a letter from Anne.

UFOs in New Hampshire


I took this picture on my way out of school on Wednesday. I couldn't get over how the clouds looked like spaceships hovering over our small city.

Almost scary!

A Long Weekend


I know the pages are in the wrong order.

I took the picture of the crescent moon about 7:15 on Monday morning when I was out snowblowing the foot of snow we got on Sunday. It looked so pretty next to the fir trees.

Those "Free" stickers were on junk mail but I thought they were appropriate for Civil Rights Day.

The snowflakes are from Christmas cards.

And, of course, the Kylie day just made my weekend.

Later: I just noticed that I wrote 2008 on this page. I'll get it right one of these days!

A Pink Page



I worked on this page a little bit for a few days.

The picture of Kylie and her great grandmother, my mother-in-law, was taken last summer.

We don't have very many pictures of Kylie with my husband and myself so I was glad Erin took this one and gave us a copy.

The pretty ATC is from Lisa. She does such pretty work.

SkyWatch Friday: Watermelon Clouds



I was just getting into my vehicle Tuesday morning when I glanced toward the East and saw these pretty little clouds the color of watermelon painting the gray sky.
