Teacher-student

Working on school while working at the blueberry farm. 
Friends have asked when school starts. For me it seems like it never ended. 

Two weeks ago I finished teaching the summer term. One week ago I started taking online classes toward my master's degree. This week I began teaching again.

I'm not sure when it started, but I know it's already started.

Ford 500

Grandpa would have been proud of Brian. When the price of a car at an auction went down low, Brian's hand went up high. He came home driving a Ford 500.

Mealtime

One of Charlie's favorite times is mealtime. He devours his bowl of dry dog food as if it were the most delicious food in the world.

Hadassa

This little girl charms me with her smiles, but when I reach for my camera, it's no laughing matter.

Rough

It's been a rough end of the semester for me. I feel like a failure as a teacher.

But...

I am deciding not to base my measurement of success as a teacher on my feelings.

Cheated

Yesterday I caught a student cheating on a test. I think I feel worse than the students when I find them cheating.

Untamed

Libby and I tried to assert dominion over this flowerbed this spring. It wouldn't hurt to try again this fall.
