Home again...

Stacey @xstitcher (39003) • Petaluma, California 1 May 25

Tomorrow I will be working the same hours. Today wasn't bad, it's just that I wasn't talked to a whole lot like I was yesterday at the other school, and nobody really told me what was what. Where to go, what the kids were...

Splashes Of Sunshine In The Yard

CarolDM @CarolDM (203396) • Nashville, Tennessee 19 Feb 23

Made this collage from the daffodils in my backyard. They always bloom in February, no matter the weather. We have a few more weeks before spring arrives. But these blooms don't seem to care what day it is. They are in full bloom...

The sun shone bright today. Very hot. A good day for yardwork. Few minutes into the chore, it rained. Sigh! I had to get a quick shower to avoid the flu. Contracted a dry cough and I wouldn't want the condition to worsen. Had...
