Fifty-eight degrees yesterday morning and 54 glorious degrees on the mountain at 6:30 this morning. Max and I had our coffee on the porch steps while Cliff slept in awhile longer. Pileated woodpecker "opinions" screeched through the trees and radiant red cardinals chirped as they ate at the feeders. Finally, the air is breathable. It was too lovely a day to be inside the gym so we headed to town and walked our long route which takes about an hour. These couple of cooler mornings we've noticed four unfamiliar adults all bundled up in layers of sweatshirts and woolen sweaters walking down the road around 8:00 AM. They must be from Florida vacationing in one of the cabins up here.
My friends in Volusia County, FL have returned to pre-plan this week getting ready for the students next Monday. So many changes....again. Just when you become familiar with what the county expects of teachers, they introduce all new methods, strategies, grading systems, and pressures. My thoughts and good intentions go out to teachers everywhere. May you all have a productive and successful year as you give so much of yourselves to your students. Be supportive to your fellow teachers and find the time to laugh together or the county BS will be your demise.
