Bio
Beaches and mountains, quiet forests and sleepy gardens, stormy nights and sunny days, full moons and starry skies, sunrises and sunsets. Joy, sorrow, love, and life. These call to me, and I wish to tell their stories.

Special Education
Special Education By Laura Brady DePace I took a deep breath as I surveyed the empty classroom. In a few seconds, this room would fill with twenty-five hyperactive, hormone-driven teenagers, who had no interest in anything I might try to teach them. Bad enough to be a “regular” Middle School science teacher, but as a substitute teacher, I felt like I walked in the door with a target on my back. Why would anyone want to be a substitute teacher? I wondered. For me, at least it wasn’t a life sentence. I was here for one reason, and hopefully for only one day.

Texas Bluebonnets

Pixie Flower Patrol
Mother Nature scattered the warming ground with signs of Spring, but I needed a sign to know what to do next. It was my first day of Pixie Flower Patrol, my big chance to get out of Pixie Fern Tending. Fern Tending was boring. Flower Patrol, on the other wing, was so exciting! I wanted to do a really spectacular job, so I would be able to stay with Flowers.
