Back to School and Beyond

Oh, the lazy days have passed. The books, the painting projects, the plans. We hop from one storm to the next. Only the seasons change.  Blizzards and hurricanes.

I am back at work readying my room for students, painting my door, unpacking my things. This year as I begin with my students at The Lab School I will also be guiding a workshop for adults through   Alexandria Parks and Rec. I am pleased with the response so far and am looking forward to interacting with my fellow Alexandrians this way.  Perhaps they will consent to having some of their writing posted to this blog which is woefully out of date. (I apologize.)

In the meantime, I am trying to get back to writing.  I can't seem to get away from the havoc the most recent storms wreaked on our area and I feel for the trees. So many are left standing raw and wounded. Look under POEMS for the most recent storm poem.
