This afternoon six-year-old Kennen and I had our first reading session together.  I had never, until today, experienced the feeling one gets while watching a child put the sounds "puh" "ahh" and "tuh" together to make the word "pat."  It was so cool to watch him try and try--to say the sounds separately over and over and then finally get them all together into one coherent word.  I have a feeling these tutoring sessions are going to be one of the best parts of my summer.      

a good day

Snippets of summer today...

::sitting out on the front porch for an hour sipping coffee and chatting with Mom::

::driving with the windows down, the radio blaring, and my hair going crazy::

::seeing a freshly-cut alfalfa field with rows of bushy, green hay drying::

::sitting on my horse while she grazes and I chat with my sister::

::watering Mom's garden while she's gone::
