Mind. Young, questioning mind. Young, questioning mind soaking up all the world has to give. Mrs. Ryan Whistling Teapot Spouting steam On the hot burner Just before dawn Waiting to satisfy my thirst Mrs. Ryan Blossoming Colors erupting from the earth Shooting upwards toward the sky Awe Inspiring beauty nature brings Spring brings life to dormant world Soon to be Summerıs green Mrs. Ryan What To Do If You Are A Fall Leaf Fade slowly from the green of summer. Shine brightly dappled with orange and yellow. Dance merrily in the cooling sunshine. Darken into the dull brown of the coming winter. Release your hold to the tree that binds. Float gently to the awaiting earth. Listen to the laughter of children raking. Sleep beneath the blanket of winterıs mantle. Decay to bring new life to Spring. Mrs. Ryan Photograph from Mrs. Ryan's vacation: A blue heron lifts of from a quiet beach. Disturbed by a mother and child approaching. Wings extended in a graceful glide. Legs trail behind it's elegant body as though being left behind. The gently breeze made by it's wings touches my face as it floats before my eyes. Mrs. Ryan Return to Top of Page

Smores Fluffy, small and brown Fluffy, small, brown, and white Fluffy, small, brown, white and cute In our class Smores is a guinea pig.

Buddy Soft, black-furred, loving Buddy Soft, black-furred, loving Buddy cuddles on my lap. Ms. Filer My daughter's trouble-making, black cat Buddy Leaping from the back of the couch to the lights in the ceiling In our TV room Last night after he had been outside Trying to catch the fluttering, flying ant that flew in the door. ~~ Ms. Filer, 2009 White ball soaring high, Landing in the fairway. Launching again, close to the green, Dropping softly by the edge. Do I putt or chip it? Bogey! Yippee! I LOVE golf. ~~ Ms. Filer, 2009 What to do if you are a caterpillar Munch leaves all day long, Explore the garden for a resting place, Spin a chrysalis of silk and warmth, Wait patiently for metamorphosis, Emerge as a beautiful butterfly, Spread your wings and soar. ~~Ms. Filer, 2009 What to do if you are Buddy Beg for kitty treats, Hide in shadows really well because I'm black, Twitch my tail and hit you in the face, Bite when I'm scared or mad, Bat my play toys down the hall, Purr loudly when I cuddle, Love my owner. ~~ Ms. Filer, 2009 I am from seafood, apples, Starbucks, and chocolate chip ice cream. I am from gardening and from teaching smarty-pants 1st and 2nd graders. I am from walking the Centennial Trail listening to my iPod. I am from playing volleyball tag with my daughter and her friends. I am from my beach house, San Diego, and Italy. I am from insurance, Wonder Bread, Christian Education, and teaching. I am from Washington From green, grassy tree-lined fairways Where I love to golf! ~~ Ms. Filer, 2009 Return to Top of Page
