Ye Gads!  It has been almost two months since my last blog!  That must be my measure of how busy I get in the spring.  I don't even have time to go on and on in my own blog.  ha!  Well...it has been a fast pace around here lately!  Some of the highlights?  I finished some classes I was teaching...corrected 50 research papers...said goodbye to some very special writing students...emceed a local homeschool graduation ceremony...organized a Mom's Morning Out (about 30 ladies attended)...planned (and attended a homeschool picnic)...assisted my DH in building 3 frames for my square foot garden...planted my garden...watched the rabbits nibble on my sprouted plants...spent a week at home with my parents and six sibling families...celebrated my neice's high school graduation...then celebrated some more for my Dad's 80th birthday...was involved in a 'wicked' (;o) volleyball tourney with my sisters, brothers, neices, and nephews...painted a room for my DH's home office...totally neglected my spring cleaning chores...and even spent one day in my pjs for the entire day!!!  What more could I ask for?  ha!

I'm guessing most people have the same set of overwhelming activites in the May-June season.  It's just a crazy period of time when all the 'lasts' occur before summer 'break'.  I didn't even mention all the  last sports/extracurricular activities that are finalized with state or national awards.  We live a very hectic life in May!

But it's almost July...It's time to do some serious dreaming and relaxing!  What do you do in July?  Maybe this year, I'll take some time to enjoy my Mother's Day glider swing that sits outside our front door.  I need some time to stop, sit, and focus on the creations of nature.  These 'snapshot' moments in my mind usually produce some kind of meditation on inner musings.  I'm hoping for some inspirations, laughs, and maybe a few new surprises in my daily life.

Here's to those bits and pieces that glue the wholeness back into our lives!  ENJOY!
