Aren't these poppies pretty? They were outside the cabin in Colorado. Actually, they were planted all over town, and in yards all around Lake City. My mom has poppies here, but she said they die back in June when the heat gets too much for them. But, in this little utopia, they were ever blooming and GORGEOUS!!
And this was the epitome of serenity. We saw this "pond" at the very top of the mountain on our horse back excursion! And it was quite cool, literally cool!, at this point! Like about 75 degrees at 2:00 in the afternoon cool! Boy, do I miss this today--it's 98 degrees and HUMID here---sweltering is the kindest word I can conjure up! Walk outside and it takes your breath. Stay outside and your sweat glands go into overdrive!!! But sitting and looking at this picture (with the AC vent pointed at me) I can almost feel the breeze!!!And, back to work -- this week is "gear up" for inservice and enrollment. I don't have anything to do with enrollment, but I have tons of papers to mail out, files to begin and a power point to finish for an inservice presentation. And I have no energy or enthusiasm! It's like this every year during the couple of weeks before school starts -- for me anyway. Maybe it's the heat of summer, maybe it's the regret for all those things I didn't accomplish, or maybe it's the sad realization that yet another year has flown by. Time isn't on my side!!! ha ha
So tonight, I'm going to allow myself to sit and look at just a few more magazines, and have a "couch potato" night. Tomorrow I'll --- well, I'll think about that tomorrow.
Pleasant dreams all!
