The Outdoorsy Type

Summer should mean more than just flinging open your windows, outdoor grilling, and no school.  Summer should mean rediscovering nature, spending time outdoors, and watching the natural world go by.

Today, some etsy finds for you that evoke that feeling.

Shop Class

Our school years always evoke such interesting memories.  Some pleasant and perhaps some not so much.  One of my favorite classes in school?  It was definitely shop class.  We were only able to have it for a few marking periods in school, but I loved it.

An Ode to Shop Class:

A Navy Gray Kind of Day

Snow Days and Back Aches

Yet another storm is coming and winter has only just begun. Snow makes me cry, but as a teacher I could get a day off from work tomorrow, which would be blissful. Yet, then that would mean shoveling and killing my old lady back. To want or not want? Impending storms do always leave the sky a gorgeous shade of grey. And a day off could allow me to sit by the window and admire. Would it be too much to ask for just enough snow to cancel school but not enough to housebound me? Is that asking too much?
