wild wind and the first week of school

When is wind too windy? right about now! My walk with the dogs this morning was challenging at best. It was difficult walking south into the south easterly but I had a speedy pace coming back. Even the dogs had to brace themselves a few times. I'm thankful our house is in line with the wind, just a howling when the wind hits the front door roof line jutting out. The houses that get the wind straight on must shake, rattle and roll in all the force.

And I am so glad to report that school has got off to a great start and the boys are happy in their classes. D came home for lunch today and did not stop chatting about the new math game he learned. He told us all the rules; I just can't follow. Usually it is J we have the conversation that goes 'yup.. un-hu... sounds cool... ok...yeah...' J's update is that the grade 7's get PE everyday. He said it was a grade 7 privilege. Little does he know that kids can focus a whole lot better after they have let off some energy :)

I am off with my new friend R and baby A to go visit T&S and baby F. I finally have some moms of mat-leave to go for walks with on my days off. Your turn on mat-leave will come soon enough Mrs. F and I will come hang with you too :)
