Summer school MY WAY.
I missed all the hoopla of NECC. I am missing all the magic of the DENminars in Maryland. I am learning things not connected to wifi or my mobile. I am installing flooring, painting, plumbing, and ultimately creating a porch on a cabin. I am working outside with my hands in the garden. My labors will reward me with the best tasting tomatos, peppers, basil, oregano, cilantro in the world. I will make tomato sauce and salsa from scratch not from a jar. I picked blackberries from the bushes in my yard and ate them with ice cream.
I am stunned by the push to think this is ‘green’ living. It is living the way it is supposed to be done. I can stand back at the end of a day and feel real satisfaction for the work I have done. It is visible, evident and real. For me, I need this kind of break from teaching(from even thinking about teaching). I warned my folllowers on twitter I would have nothing ed relevant to say this summer. I have all kinds of interesting things to say if you want to know about my newly acquired do-it yourself skills. How come I learned NONE of this in school?
