Eli & Nathiel's science and technology club that I'm coaching is doing well. It's a battle to know how to get everyone on task all the time. Don't at all believe I am keeping everyone on task. But we did get a good start on our project and we've figured out how to do 2 missions. I think I may be learning a ton more than the kids. I'm learning about how to communicate with parents...not an easy task when I want them to help their student. But I'm having fun, and the kids are too.
My garden is growing really well! Amending the soil with compost and grass clippings is finally paying off! All that back breaking work the last few years made it so much easier to turn the soil this fall (I didn't even need a pick this time!!!). I have arugula coming out my ears, green and a very dark red leaf lettuce, cucumbers, basil, gray squash, and sweet potatoes. It's the best fall/winter garden I've ever had!
I ride my bike A LOT! It saves on gas money and it's nice to be out in this weather. I probably do 5 miles a day. The other day I volunteered in Andrew's kindergarten class, and the teacher introduced me, "And we all know Mrs. ****, because we see her riding her bike to school everyday:)." I kind of had that I want to hide under a rock feeling, but it's true, everyone talks to me this year, it's like riding a bike breaks a barrier, although, when people come over, they definitely seem surprised by my home...kind of a why would you ride a bike everyday if you don't have to look. I know, I'm weird, but happy...that has to count for something!

Do you know Kim with the miniature horses? She said she got similar looks and comments when people saw her home and saw her on her bike (really I think it is a trike). I guess people put us in stereotypes and are surprised when they don't fit.
