A shepherd's daughter struggles with (or at least blathers on about) love, writing, life in New York City and teaching in The Bronx, and leaving NYC to get an MFA in Poetry.

Norfolk Snow
There's a "snow storm" in Norfolk. Heh.
School is on a two-hour delay for a dusting of snow--though I suppose that's better than the time they canceled school on the mere threat of snow.
I'm too swamped with homework and grading to write now, but here are some photos I snapped in my backyard before 7 a.m. this morning. I'll add words at a later date.
P.S. Who's going home to Iowa on Thursday? ME! I'll be home for less than a week, but it'll be great to see my family and, hopefully, some friends.
P.P.S. At 9:45, I checked to make sure school was still on. It was, so I showered, dressed, did my hair and makeup, went over my lesson plans and went to work. There was a strong, chilly headwind I had to fight the whole was there. When I got to my classroom...no students! Sometime between 9:45 and 10:45 ODU canceled school for the day. Grr.

The second two-hour delay actually came down when I was sitting on 64, stuck in traffic, after I saw like nine accidents. I turned around and crept home. The roads were pretty darn bad, but at least they did the right thing this time instead of canceling the whole day at 5 a.m.
But one of my secret fears is arriving at class and discovering that my students have stood me up...
