I started an on-line course today

I started an on-line course today.
Project 1: Introduce yourself to the class.

Greetings! I'm Sarah, I'm 23 years old and ready to see where life will take me. I started teaching art in highschool to earn extra spending money and hopped into mural painting. I've seen things explode from there but I added a day job to the mix to ensure a steady income. My goal in taking this course is to learn how to turn my hobbies into a lucrative business.

Today?

- I need to clean my turtle cage and I'm going to a softball game this evening. I don't feel all that great but I've been wishing I could go swimming. I got off work at 4:00pm today. Not early, not late. Just about right if you ask me!!!

I went swimming with Kyle Sunday night. The water was so cold it took my breathe away. We were having a lot of fun until I chickened out after a close call with a fish. I took off for shore and Kyle was a little worried that it might have been a snake so he climbed out as well. We continued our visit on a nearby bench and while we were there I saw this Nutria (otter like rat thing.) swim by, it was pretty cool. He went one way, then came back for some supper, he ate on the far shore but he was close enough that we could hear the crunching sound as he munched his dinner. We also saw geese, ducks, and crawfish but compared to a huge swimming rat they were not even a little bit impressive.

Oh, and just for kicks:

Apparently the nutria is a member of the rodent family and is native to South America. They were introduced to the coastal areas of Texas and Louisiana as important fur bearers. However, they are known for being destructive and are viewed as detrimental. The one we saw was brown, about the size of a cat or small dog, and had round tail which was extremely long.

What's happening these days??

Thursday night I caught up with some friends and spent the evening at the fair. We went through the petting zoo, hung out at the dance, and saw the world's smallest horse. Ok, -maybe not the smallest horse in the world, but he was a miniture pony. 26inches would be my guess. :)

Friday night I went back to the fair and toured the 4-H buildings and the exhibits with Clint. (Yes, this is a small town, no there is nothing else to do!!!)

Saturday, I, ....yes, went back to the fair. However, this time I can add a new twist to the same old story because I worked at the Republican booth for a few hours. Don't forget to vote next month! Clint and I also went to the dance which was fun though I still can't dance.

The Breeze..

Dance, while it carries the butterflies of spring.

Savor, as it gently brushes your cheek on a warm summer day.

Laugh, as it throws the leaves of autumn for you to catch.

Retreat, when it shudders and sends a chill through your soul in the deep of the winter.

Dance, Savor, Laugh, Retreat and Watch as it blows.

Ponder it's path for one never knows, where it is that the wind will go.
