Good morning to you, and welcome! It has been a couple of weeks since we last spoke. I know that last weekend I was a little anti-social – I enclosed myself at home over the long weekend, avoided any type of social media and spent quite a time of time reading on the sofa. In between Zumba, household chores, and cooking dinner for my family I read The House of New Beginnings by Lucy Diamond and The Affair by Amanda Brooke. I enjoyed the stories by both novelists – so much so that I have searched in the library catalogue for more of their novels.
While the long weekend was relaxing, the short week was busy as I tried to fit as much as I could into four days. Added to this, our school concert was this past Thursday. The group I had worked with was ready to perform and my task on the night of the concert was to supervise them. I am glad that the concert is over. Now I can focus on completing my assessment and getting the report cards ready for mid-June.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that the temperatures are a little warmer – and I am glad for it. It is not hot and humid yet and I am enjoying the in between temperatures of Spring. It does not usually last very long and soon, I am sure, everyone will be complaining about the heat! The warmer weather has made the kids fidgety and it is difficult to get them to focus when the sun is beckoning them to play outside. What I have to do is focus on creating interesting activities that will keep them motivated to work.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I am still enjoying the flowers that I received for Mother’s Day. The reason why I enjoy potted plants more than cut flowers is that they last so much longer. I am looking at them right now as I am writing this, and they bring a smile to my face.
I do not have to much news to tell you this week – hopefully next week will be different. Have a wonderful weekend and a fulfilling week.
What would you tell me if we were having coffee?

Plants are nice gifts they can last a long time. The end of school is hard on everyone.

They do – and they help you think on the person who gave them to you 🙂

There are plenty of times I become reclusive too. I think it’s good for us! I’m going to check out the books you were reading.

I love a long weekend with not much to do but read. I have to say I haven’t read much of anything recently. So I envy you! 🙂 Have a wonderful week!

The time will come as your children get older and are more independent. Even 5 years ago I was not reading as much as I do now 🙂
