My World & Welcome To It!


The children's play field
Soon covered with snow. So why
Are they still in shorts?

The field behind the school where I work. Snowy clouds billowing in, but no snow quite yet! Our principal sent a memo to the teachers yesterday to ask that they strongly encourage their classroom kids to wear "seasonally appropriate clothing".  30º outside and the girls are in sleeveless tops, the boys in shorts and tee-shirts. 

"WHAT?? You want us to wear a coat out to recess?? No way!"
I freeze just looking at them!

Now a bit of My World, the Dog Edition

Stella's volleyball
The love of her life right now
Must replace it soon!


She dances, prances
I try to take a movie
And down Stella flops!

Another day maybe I'll catch her in all her prancing glory!

  3. What a cool sky. And a cool pooch too. While I don't have any used volley balls hanging around, I can donate used tennis balls to the cause.

  9. Annie: It must be hard to police the kids when their parents don't think about the weather. That was a fun romp with your dog.

  11. That sky over the field is very dramatic and stormy looking! Kids are so crazy when it comes to clothes and what should be worn. Gee...we weren't like that, were we?? Stella seems to be having a very good time and so does her play partner :-)

  12. I thought maybe they were wearing shorts because it is warm. Crazy kids! Beautiful photo.

    Stella seems happy.

  13. wearing shorts in "cold" weather is all relative. our first winter in Altanta, I went to the store in a sweatshirt. imagine how I laughed when I saw people in quilted coats, hats and mittens for all of 40 degrees!

  14. Don't you remember trying to be the first to get by coming to school without at coat or jacket, and the last to wear one??? I don't know if kids do that today, but I sure remember it...specially trying to be the first to get by without wearing one in the spring.

  18. Oh gosh, I used to get so frustrated when the kids refused to wear their jackets. Once outside, though, they're not allowed back in until the bell and a few soon learned their lesson well.
    Love your dog! Isn't it just like them (and kids) to NOT perform just when you want them to.
