It's Changing

It's as if it knows.  Like clockwork, the weather is beginning to change.
Summer's officially over-- right?
For the second morning in a row, the dew and fog have blanketed the place where we live.
It is cold.  I have slippers on.  The warmth of my bed in the morning keeps me wishing it were still night where I lay cozily sleeping.

Ahhh, but it is morning.  Time to get up and start the day, even when I don't want to.
Today I don't want to. 
And that makes me feel guilty.  It makes me feel lazy.
Perk up Christine-- I think to myself.
What's the word I am looking for?  Peppy?
Yes-- peppy.  The new word Anastasia and Sveta learned last week.  The word I had so much fun acting out. 

Big sigh.  The morning will get better.  All the kids are doing Science and Social Studies together.  That will be fun!  The frogs are entertaining.  There is a cup of coffee waiting for me.  We are making enchiladas for dinner-- and an everything made from scratch "Strawberry Cream Pie".   For real.  Note to bile duct-- I am eating pie.

Your votes continue to be a pick me up through-out the day, so thank you.  They are much appreciated.  Another blessing.
But the contest is not over-- the voting continues for 8 more days.  Can I count on all of you-- please?
You can vote here-- again--- and again-- from every electronic device you can.
