Our life in the foothills of Calaveras County, California. The pond is at the center of everything. In case we should forget, the bullfrogs yell it out all summer long. A noisy place, but home.
Pond!

Overnight Fieldtrip to the Ocean
The weather was lovely, the children (some who had never seen the ocean) ecstatic, and the universe a joyful place.
Glad to hear that your jury service issue was sorted in your favor,but poor you having to make that long journey for nothing,I hope you get paid for your time and traveling expenses. The children look happy frolicking in the waves,you now deserve a good rest. Have a good weekend. Carolyn.
Thank you, Carolyn! My name is still in the jury pool for another two weeks, but was such a relief to be able to go with my class on this trip. Some of the children had never been away from their parents for the night, and going with a substitute teacher (no matter how nice) would not have been a good situation.
Anyway, it all worked out. I'm tired, though, and wish that I didn't have to go in to school today. I don't think that the children or myself will be in the mood for academics today!
