I have recently had some time off from the website due to an unwanted chestcold. I am feeling better and cannot believe it has been so long since I last posted.
We are plugging along in school. Triple H read his first book "Dad, Sam, and Pat" the other day all by himself. I cannot express in words the look of pride on his little face when he realized what he had done. Princess Poodle continues to plug along with her schoolwork. The dreaded winter months have hit and we miss our nature studies and fieldtrips. We are ready for spring!!! History is on hold for a bit as we delve into a basic introduction of the human body.
I have started taking a pottery class and I love it. I went into it with no expectations other than to get my hands dirty. What do I love about it? I love that I get my hands dirty. I love the way the wet clay, spinning round, feels on my fingers. I love that when I am at the wheel everything else in life just fades away. Its just me and that lump of clay. I love the characters I am meeting in my classes and I love having something that is mine and mine alone. I doubt that I will become some master potter. But it is the process I am after not the end product.
Coming up in Hazelnut Academy...history fair project to start with Princess Poodle, spring musical to rehearse for, easter drama for me to rehearse for and hopefully a garden bed to prepare.
The freakishly large squirrel that lives in our backyard. Yes, his face is masked in black like a raccoon. Thanks for stopping by,

I took a pottery class in high school and loved it! I would love to take a class to learn a bit more and enjoy the process of creating something. There are so many excellent analogies that go along with it, too! You'll have to post some of your work!
