Little Things; Big Difference
We wanted a fountain for the yard. For 60 bucks we couldn't make one on our own for less. The sound of the water as I sit by the porch is magical. 
*Ellen at THELLENREPORT.blogspot com is having a stitch marker give away in honor of Labor Day weekend. Go on, leave your ravelry address or email with her.
*Zucchini bread tastes even better with a dollop of whipped cream cheese
*I changed up my wooden needles for my next gansey hat; so far so good. Jury is still out however
*I live in a town of more than 50,000 people but when the kids go back to school it is like a ghost town until 3 pm.
*I'm learning that teachers are as tired as children after school :) . Como no
*There is a new movement not to wash a newborn after it is born. I'm old school. That's just gross
*I know the Hawk in our area made a kill today because all the birds that hang out in the yard are hiding this morning..circle of Life I say. I love hawks.
*Magpie's are of the most intelligent animals in the world. GOogle it. It's true. I'm glad the animal hospital people named little Pie. She is very smart indeed.
*Last year at the time we were awed by Yosemite. The fires there are as big as Chicago they say. Poor Smokey the Bear...
and finally:
*I'm thinking of a swap. Anyone interested?

Yes, teachers get very tired by the end of the day. How was Zach's first day in his own classroom?
I would love to join the swap - sign me up!
I'm glad Pie is named Pie as well. She is such a sweetie, please kiss her for me.
And yeah, I am probably interested in some kind of swap ...
*I will try cream cheese on zucchini bread.
*Not wash newborns? I can't wrap my head around that, and I can't grasp this new "birthing plan" stuff. Isn't the old way to have a baby good enough?
*I love hawks too and we have some beautiful hawks swooping through out back yard looking for a meal.
*Yes to a swap. I'm coming out of my work funk and will be back among the living!
What's the logic behind NOT washing the newborn?
Maybe on the swap. Timing is everything.

Also, I love Magpies too :) Did you know I fed and handled hawks when I was in highschool as part of my community service?
I, too, am wondering about the logic behind not bathing a newborn. Really?!!
Yes, I'm sure Zach wondered what hit him after his first long day with kids! LOL! It can be exhausting! I'm sure hoping he enjoyed it, nevertheless.
Yes, when I was substitute teaching I was exhausted at the end of the day and I ALWAYS showered to get the day off me before taking a short nap.
Yes, teachers are very tired this time of year. I'm so glad I am a former teacher. I don't have that kind of energy anymore.
Our beach town is also deserted which is sad. The weather here has been lovely for the past few weeks so for once I am hating to see summer go.
Ewwww....for the dirty newborns. I can't even imagine why that would be a good idea.
