Is it Summer yet?

Summer...that often elusive time of year that a teacher sees through smoke filled glasses that only clear after reaching the middle or end of that season... Is it here? 

Could it possibly be summer? Not yet. 

I have a few plans for the next couple of months that mostly add up to REST!!

After spending a year with 22 kindergarten children, the word REST has taken on a new meaning!

Ahhh...

The beach...that is always a place to calm the wandering heart. The cool breezes, the warm sun, the roar of the tide, the squeak of the sea gulls, the sand in your feet and in everything you own...all of those wonderful things that keep a person happy can be found at the beach, and that is where I will hopefully be throughout the summer.

Of course, there are my two little darling princesses awaiting my hugs and kisses for the whole entire summer! Those shining faces can calm even the most frazzled of nerves after a hard day at the old mill, so to speak!

Is it summer yet? The sun, the heat, and the flowers tell us that it is. I'm waiting for the real thing to begin, so let it flow like the sunshine of the pretty dandelions that blow in the wind after coming out of their own 'shell'. Come on, summer. I am ready for you!!
