today is a teacher work day with no students, which is like gold to us teachers at this point in the year. i am enjoying a quiet classroom where i can get reports written and lessons planned before the long weekend. our kids had their parties yesterday; it's always so sweet when my students remember me on holidays because i am not their "all day everyday classroom teacher".

j and i are keeping it simple tonight; homemade potato soup with fresh bread from a local bakery and a BIG bottle of wine. we thought about having a fire in the fireplace but i think it's going to be too warm. i know, tough problem to have mid-february :)
i think my favorite thing about denver is the weather. when i first decided to move, people often said, "but there will be SO much snow!". i've had 1 snow day a year since i moved (compared to the 5 i had in 1 year teaching in cleveland). and even when it snows in the city, the sun comes out and melts it all away by mid-afternoon. it's pretty amazing. check out our 5 day forecast:

| i'm still getting used to this being "normal" |
so this weekend i am planning on washing my car, taking a long hike at the local dog park with lucy, and maybe a bike ride to check out a new local brewery.

| we LOVE our dog park! it's filled with hiking trails, fields, and lucy's favorite part: a pond |
i hope everyone enjoys their weekend and does something fun!
