two days

I had a day of happy children. Nothing I did, but they wore smiles filing into class, and not the usual sober dragging-of-feet when they come back from vacation. And I was glad to see them, to teach them, yet I didn't share their mood. Too many days off from school, and my new year ethusiasm has dissipated, replaced with an impatience to be done with this year.

The neighbors stopped by to introduce the younger sister, and we ended up sharing a bottle of Chardonnay on my doorstep. I am grateful for the injection of laughter and carefree talk, and I realize now that I can't type that coherently, so I'm going to stop. ;-)

Ecology studies the interrelationship between organisms and their environment. It originates from the German word okologie, first used in 1873.

This blog documents one organism's interactions with her environment.
What would be the hope of being personally whole in a dismembered society, or personally healthy in a landscape scalped, scraped, eroded, and poisoned, or personally free in a land entirely controlled by the government [or corporations], or personally enlightened in an age illuminated only by TV? - Wendell Berry
