School

My grand son has completed his first week of school.  This is the picture as he headed out on the first day of all-day kindergarten.

I understand that he has returned each day completely exhausted.  Well, he is still a baby!!  Okay, he  would hate to hear me say that.  He is a big boy now, but, good grief, they grow up so fast.

My grand daughter has started sixth grade.  Honestly, it seems like last year that she was startling kindergarten.

I stole these pictured from Facebook.  They are just too cute not to share.

    Lovely kids, and I like the cat. When of the ironies of getting older it that moments become shorter. A year in the life of your grandchild becomes a flash.

    Those pics are adorable. They look happy, and that is a good sign.

    Your Grandson and mine are the same age - my Caden started K-garten this year, too. He loves it and cried when his Mom had to get him early last week for a DR appointment. What a cute photo of your Granddaughter and the kitty!

    Very cute kids. I hope they have a great school year. I don't know why they have to grow up so fast.

    I think Facebook is a boon for us grammas, not just the kids! That's how I keep up, too!
    Cheers from Cottage Country!

    I too have stolen pics off Facebook (actually that's probably the only thing I do with Facebook.)
    Your pictures are adorable. Now I want to show my grandson's first day school pic too (maybe on my blog later)!

    So cute! Yes, they do grow up so fast. Education is a wonderful thing, but by age five, kids will now never just be free to be. There will now be school and more school, and then jobs. It's kind of bitter sweet.

    You're right -- those pictures are to cute not to snag! Love the one of your granddaughter and the cat!

    Olga, my grandson, Miles, started kindergarten this year too. I was talking to his mother, my daughter, and I commented on what a long day it was. My daughter answered with, "Yeah, isn't it great?"

    You are right! Kids grow up way too fast, but I remember wanting to grow up when I was a kid! I just wish the years would slow down!

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!
