I am sitting and looking out the window at a hard rain coming down. I am really uncertain how I will make it to my car in my shorts and t-shirt. Despite that it is still 18 C0 in Edmonton, but it is October and there is a risk of wet snow tonight. Early today, it was quite pleasant, sunny, and, as one student put it, it changed quite suddenly.
October arrives
Softly whispers reminders
Thank and share.
Harvest gathered
Bounty stored
The hearth calls.
Gather as one
Hands joined; heads bowed
Pray as one.
I out waited the rain. It has stopped momentarily

About ivonprefontaine
I have been an educator for almost 20 years. Prior to that, I worked in private industry for 15 years, then returned to university to earn my education degree. For the past 11 years, I have been a co-creator of learning in a unique, progressive, alternative educational school of choice. Currently, I am engaged in a doctoral program at Gonzaga University in Spokane. A main theme in my learning there has been the roles of systems thinking, complexity theory, and organizational theory, and how they apply to education generally and the learning environment I share with students, parents, and colleagues.
Thanks for passing by
Right back at you; I look forward to following your humourous blog.
Ivon, your words ooze peace.
‘Bounty stored, the hearth calls’ – such home-spun words of comfort and peace…
Our weather is calling for it. We will dip below zero for the first time this year.
We have had two light frosts – I’m afraid the Big Chill is on its way this week!
I think we missed in the City last night, but the outlying areas would have got it.
You outwitted the rain!
Yes, I did.
