Buttonweed Barn

As is fairly typical for this weekend, at as far as my memory serves me, it is rainy. I kind of like that it is a nice soft rain. We need it. The ground was getting so dry and crunchy. I have been working on my educational technology projects. My new favorite blog is shabbyblogs.com. I love their backgrounds. I've added one of their backgrounds to this blog.

I forget how many hours I really am at work. I filled in a chart on how I spend my time. With commuting and after hours work and meetings, there isn't a lot of hours left in the day. There is a reason I come home and hit the couch. It's a lot of hours.

Trail to Avalanche Lake:

Hubby was back to work. Out the door early and on the road by 5:00 a.m. It gave me a lot of time to drink my coffee this morning. The house is always so quiet when he's gone. Tonight, I had to turn on some Jimmy Buffett to liven things up, while I'm working on my school work. Our dog is moping around, missing him.

Sunday Mornings The usual routine of getting up without an alarm clock and enjoying a quiet morning is what I love best about Sundays. I enjoy laying around without all the day's to dos juggling in my head. It might be the part of the week I enjoy the most. I bought a new honeysuckle bush for around the pond and a crab apple tree to replace the aspen that didn't make it. The crab apple bush seems to be liking it so far, with a bunch of blossoms. The bees are liking the addition to the garden. Everything is starting to seem much more springlike up here. The mock orange are all blooming now and the trees are flushing out nicely.
