I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects. View more posts

Teresa, I think this is a plum or a cherry tree. The cherry tree in my yard is only for the birds and honestly a nuisance. 🙄

Oh, right…I should have looked at the leaves! The blossoms were clumped together like our rhododendrons. 😀

It did yesterday! It went from over 70 and sunscreen on Wednesday to snow on Friday! Colorado is weird.

Oh no! Spring is late in a lot of places … or just completely confused.

It’s such an *interesting* way to live … winter coat and hat in the morning and shorts at lunchtime. Or sunburn one day and snow the next. 🤦♀️

Thanks, Rosi! The snow was a bit of a mess but the garden enjoyed it and the trees are all fine.
