I took on running a gardening club at our new school. What a wonderful opportunity. We have land, a small budget, and a dozen or so interested students. The other week I planted some corn and sunflowers, and they have poked through the soil. Sowing seeds and watching them grow nurtures the soul. Try it if you haven't, or haven't lately. Chime in if you're a so-called old hand.
The cicadas are chiming in nowadays. The summer is here as far as Haiku is concerned (part of the often not-understood richness of Haiku involves season words--like "cicadas", which depict the particular season). Even if you otherwise despise bugs, you gotta love cicadas.
There was a third item I was thinking to blog about. It started with an "s" sound, but it wasn't sunshine or sunburns, seasoning or spices, sofas or settees. It wasn't sacrifice or cease-and-desist orders, and it wasn't suicide or citizenship. The subject escapes me no, but I can tell you it wasn't Saturn, or sex, or singing, or sonnets, or supper, or Cesium, or cymbals, or citadels, or CDs, or psychology or psychiatry or similes or smiles.
Maybe it had something to do with interviewing at some other schools, which I have done recently. Maybe it had something to do with going to the children's museum, which we did last night. Maybe it had something to do with Bonnie's new blog we talk dinosaur. I can't recall.
It could be that it was about Annie walking backwards, because she seems to like to do that nowadays, step step step. Or it could be about watching an extra baby (a coworker's baby) in the house, which is on the list of current news at the Becker household. It could possibly have been about the website houstongasprices.com (they also have it in your area) which is currently listing gas prices lower than $3.40 / gallon in the Houston area! But I don't think so. Nothing has struck a chord with me yet.
It could have been about the painted lady butterflies emerging from their chrysalises, or about our new costume fun, or about all of Bonnie's latest crafting activities. Or about planning a trip to Austin, or Louisiana, or renting out our Sparrow house finally... hmmm.....
Alas, I think I shall have to leave the title of this blog with an ssss, until the subject comes back to me, if it does at all.
was it about slapping, silly songs, saftey, sirens or sight seeing? How about snakes, spawn, swearing, being spurned, swapping stuff, swimming, ceasar, cealings, cerebelum, or cells? I could see you writing a blog about all or none of the above....or perhaps even just some of the above! ;) -nic
