Yesterday I retired from teaching!  I've had many special hugs, parties, emails, even a flash mob(!).  One card contained a poem bookmark that summed up how I hope to live the next part of my life. 

Advice from a Waterfall

 

Go with the flow

Roar with excitement

Let your cares fall away

 

 

Create your own music

Immerse yourself in nature

Stay active

Make a splash!

I intend to follow this advice, to the letter!

Here are a few more photos taken the same day I took the ones near our creek.  We call these flowers "Missouri Bluebells" but I'm not sure if that's their real name.  If you know what they're really called, let me know!
