We just had a strong snow shower move through the area, covering everything in a nice thin sheet of white.  It doesn’t feel too cold, but the heavy dark sky makes it appear so.

OMEA was a success, and I am proud of all the students who worked hard for and participated in this event. I am very appreciative of all the accompanists and choir directors who made it happen.

Now, we are busy with school musical auditions, this week and next. I am hopeful it will be a clean sweep with goals met for each student.

I was productive today, and made progress with cleaning the kitchen, bedroom, washing dishes, and two loads of laundry wash, dried, and put away. Now, it is nearing time to teach from 4 PM – 11 PM.

MONTHS by Sara Coleridge

January brings the snow,
makes our feet and fingers glow.

February brings the rain,
Thaws the frozen lake again.

March brings breezes loud and shrill,
stirs the dancing daffodil.

April brings the primrose sweet,
Scatters daises at our feet.

May brings flocks of pretty lambs,
Skipping by their fleecy damns.

June brings tulips, lilies, roses,
Fills the children’s hand with posies.

Hot July brings cooling showers,
Apricots and gillyflowers.

August brings the sheaves of corn,
Then the harvest home is borne.

Warm September brings the fruit,
Sportsmen then begin to shoot.

Fresh October brings the pheasants,
Then to gather nuts is pleasant.

Dull November brings the blast,
Then the leaves are whirling fast.

Chill December brings the sleet,
Blazing fire, and Christmas treat.

Make it a great day!
