I went with my daughters class to visit a family that rescues bees.
They have 5 bee boxes in their garden.
O how i would love to have bees!
Someday... But for now I will just read about and visit the bees!
Check out this website and learn about the disaster that is colony collapse disorder and for information about keeping bees.

I made the pencil rolls for my daughter's 3rd grade class.
This is a simple version of a pencil roll but a great way to make lots of them!

Back to School to our beautiful Waldorf School On The Roaring Fork....

As a Bahai'i i am not defined by politics... I like to think that i am a world citizen not just American...
But I am truly compelled by the possibility...
I watched the Health Care speech tonight and all that i have to say is...
do you remember?
YES WE CAN!
watch Yes We Can! and Its A New Day!
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we've been told that we're not ready, or that we shouldn't try, or that we can't, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people.
Yes we can.
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom through the darkest of nights.
Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballot; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can.
Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
We know the battle ahead will be long,
But always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way,
Nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We want change!
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will only grow louder and more dissonant.
We've been asked to pause for a reality check.
We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
The hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA...
We will remember that there is something happening in America;
That we are not as divided as our politics suggests;
That we are one people;
That we are one nation;
And together, we will begin the next great chapter in America's story with three words that will ring from coast to coast
From sea to shining sea
Yes. We. Can....
Vote for Health care for all americans
