~ Winter Things, Music, and Such.....~

Well, today it is snowing.....beautiful light shines through the windows, white. Hillary is sick....first day missed this school year. I am home with her- I think it's mainly a viral bug....with slight fever. She tested negative for all other. In the past few days great things have kept us busy......

Here is some great music I've had the pleasure of seeing, hearing, and experiencing......at Putney, Vermont. NextStage Arts. (Compliments of Kara, I might add all the way 1,000 miles away.....she gave me the heads up for these thought-provoking felt artists...I have to say....you were there in heart, mind, and soul as I listened to your favorite....)
It was up close and personal....and wonderful.....we stopped by Putney Food Co-op for some organic coffee......a really nice, cold evening.......enjoy the listening of the singers we went to appreciate.....

Brock's been playing some bball games....below is a shot (3 pointer) he made to begin the game.....

Every year, at the beginning of the school year, I would assign a project (kind of borrowed from George Ella Lyon, poet) to my middle schoolers.....They were called, "Where I am From....." poems....well, Cooper is completing these at Union Street....I just love them....even if he only mentions me to discuss how I burn cookies......:) It's obvious he loves that brother of his.

Vandy getting the essential seat.....at the table......

Cooper pictured here with a sneak attack picture....after a day at Okemo with Ski Program....he's tuckered out! He learned the hockey stop today.....:) no more pizza for him!

Yeah, it's a Vermont Thing.......lol

Vermonters be like.....Dress warm, go to school! :)
