Good morning, everyone!

It has been a while. I've been busy. Since the Christmas break ended on January 4, I have been substituting for the same Intermediate class at Russell. Their regular teacher has been off since about mid-November. Although I would rather be doing the secondary students, the Intermediates have been OK. Also, technically, it is my third week with them as I was here the week before the break, too. It's also only for .6 of the day... Most of the time, I also get a full day, so it's OK.

Not a whole lot else has changed here. We are just getting by the most dreary times of the year, as I am sure that you are, too.

Have a great 'Pines Day, everyone! It's only the second of the year... Can you believe that there are less than 50 more until Christmas?! Enjoy your Wednesday!

Only 43 more 'Pines Days until the beginning of the 2016 Christmas Season! Neat. See everyone tonight!

Well, the 2 hour delay from last night turned into CLOSED!!! Not because of the cold but the ice is really bad on the roads from yesterday. With the high winds and cold temperatures, the road crews could not keep the roads clear. So even my wife, who teaches at an in town school got to close. My school closed, which happens more often because I teach in a rural school district. Lots of open fields for snow to blow back across the road. In any case, another snow day!!!

This week is also the end of the semester, so we have an early dismissal (students only) on Friday. No School on Monday for Martin Luther King Day.
So the week looks like this: Monday-2 hour delay Tuesday-closed Wednesday- closed Thursday-should be open, but we will see Friday- early dismissal. Followed by a 3 day weekend, which includes Henry's 7th birthday on Saturday.
Tough week!

Enjoy your day off!!! Sounds like a nearly perfect week!! Stay warm!!

Good Morning, Friends.

Creeping ever closer to our first Milestone of 2016. More about that, presently.
First:
Days to the Season: 305
Days to Christmas Day: 347

And the numbers inform us that we have but FIVE days remaining until we arrive at the 300-day Christmas Season Milestone.
Once we step through that Window, a 200's level count sequence begins -- the first indication of just the beginning of an acelleration to the next upcoming Season!

(But perhaps I wax a bit too eager this early in the game. There's plenty of time.....plenty of time......isn't there?)


A bit warmer yesterday, but it came with some wind.
(After cleaning up the yard earlier, there are now fresh leaves, sticks and pine cones to clear away.)
Today will be a cold one -- it has started off at 30 degrees for the third day in a row, and may not get too much warmer all day.


Have a Wonderful Wednesday and a Very Vivacious Visit to the Shispering Pines this evening, where Carl is ready as ever with the fired twinkies, the sweet southern iced tea and entertainment, the likes of which you probably have not seen before and likely never will again.
Don't miss it!

5 days to our 1st milestone sounds amazing!!! See you tonight!

This is our cat Olaff. We made this meme in 2014 for our social media promotions, because Bud was doing forearm poses after someone made a joke about the size of his arms. LOL I thought you guys would just appreciate the Christmassy cat and lights. Found it on my phone while looking for some winter scenes to post here that I had saved.
