Today was another simple day: resting, getting ready for a visit from the social worker tomorrow, picking up Thistle from school. I'm grateful for these days, which are made good for me in great part by not working/teaching right now. I feel I've said all I needed to say in classrooms at the university level. If anything, I'm grateful that I can, for the next several years, work with elementary school aged kids in Thistle's classrooms, because I prefer that age for teaching anyways (if you reach students at a young age, the results can be life-changing).
Oh, and there's a lovely nesting pair of saw-whet owls and other of great horned owls, both by the creek, and more than one bobcat (probably coming down from the hills in search of water)...and a healthy family of skunks close by.
And that's all! Thank you for stopping by.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
