After two and a half months of intense weeks teaching four nights a week at Kaplan and two days at Montessori, I have the month of June off from Kaplan, leaving an interesting hole in my life. With the regular school year over for the summer, several of the Montessori kids are gone, and this week, quite a few more kids were gone on vacation, so even my Tuesdays and Thursdays had a bit of a hole. While I do feel relieved of some of the stresses, I'm also kind of missing the busyness, and more significantly, the kids. I found myself even sad about losing some of the more difficult children. In any case, on Wednesday of this week, I had to do some finish-up paperwork at Kaplan, so I took advantage of the drive down to Denver and went to the temple, and then on the way home stopped by the lost ponds that my mom had mentioned to me last week. Then, in the mood, even took some more pictures in my own front yard. Going to the temple and enjoying the great outdoors really lifted my spirits, so here are some photos that might lift yours :).
