Spreading Seeds: Happy 80th Birthday Mom!
http://diane-johnson.blogspot.com/2011/02/happy-80th-birthday-mom.html
Friday, February 4, 2011. Happy 80th Birthday Mom! Reminiscing over the years, a walk through time. But birthdays aren't just for looking back, it's also time to look forward. New friends to make, places to see, skills to learn and teach, love to continue and grow. What an exciting ride we take through life. What goes around, comes around. It's all about give and take, love and laughter, helping others and being helped. This special birthday greeting. Love Always, Diane. February 6, 2011 at 10:21 AM.

http://diane-johnson.blogspot.com/2011/06/longtime-friends.html
Saturday, June 18, 2011. There was sharing to be done; gift bags, crafts, photos, travels to hear about and technology to be played with. Beth is so talented, she creates so much; books, quilts, memory containers,. Here are a couple of her creations she's made that share family stories and photos to capture a moment in time. Janine, Penny, Beth and Diane (AKA J-rod, P-rod, Miller and Johns). The view from their patio in Clear Lake. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Leave a comment on a post! Denver 6-1...

Spreading Seeds: April 2010
http://diane-johnson.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 25, 2010. Spring rains bring growth to my flower beds outside and my spring birthday also brought flowers from dear friends of mine (left). Both make me smile and isn't that what spring is all about? Renewed growth, a fresh start, new inspiration! The week ahead, for that matter the month ahead, is a busy one for me. The Denver K-12 Art show is May 4th! Helpful neighbors are the best, and mine are just that. The tree has been replaced with a birdbath laying on it's stump. A friend and I...

Sunday, March 6, 2011. Decorah, IA, Eagles. An amazing view is available on line via ustream.tv. Mesmerizing viewers around the globe, Mom and Dad Eagle are sitting on 3 eggs, due to hatch around April 1st. They are brought to people via The Raptor Resource Project. The eagles are on a nest on private property next to a fish hatchery in Decorah. Check their camera out here. Called American Eagle. I highly recommend it. I hope you check the Eagle Cam out, it's addicting! Links to this post. Denver 8th Gra...

Spreading Seeds: June 2011
http://diane-johnson.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Family, Farm and Art Therapy. As summer arrives for a teacher it's time to "catch up" on things I've let go during the school year. I've taught for 30 years now and my schedule still keeps me busy and running with things revolving around school during the year that it's "a breath of fresh air" to finally reach summer vacation. I also made some hanging vases for Mom to use as table favors, for a lunch she will have for friends, using copper wire, beads and antique bottles. Of c...

Spreading Seeds: July 2010
http://diane-johnson.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 31, 2010. I took the two doors from each end, a few windows and the sliding doors from the chicken holes. Photos were taken to capture the end of the old building, it was becoming an emotional goodbye. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders. Click on a photo to see an enlarged version. He who works wit...

Spreading Seeds: May 2010
http://diane-johnson.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 30, 2010. Love a Veteran, I do! Dad was inducted at Fort Snelling, St. Paul, MN, before heading to Ft. Lewis in Washington state for his basic training. My Grandmother saved all his letters from Basic Training and it's fun to read through them to get a sense of what Dad's day to day life was like back then. Many of Dad's army friends called him "Box-Johnson" since he was always sending boxes of items home. Phoebe sent a family photo to Cal in Japan. A Chinese man who worked in one of ...Calvi...

Spreading Seeds: February
http://diane-johnson.blogspot.com/2011/02/february.html
Sunday, February 27, 2011. As we come to the end of February I reflect back on the month and can't believe for such a short month it was full of so much. Then the month gets filled in with school; grading, midterms, end of the trimester, lesson plans, parent teacher conferences. I teach 8 different classes everyday and one of those classes rotates different groups of kids every three days, so I see 10 different groups of kids at school. Teaching 6-12 art and 7-8 Technology keeps me hopping. Though I do n...
