I have been teaching a community gardening class here in town. Last night, I started to wonder if I was in the twilight zone or something. I got there early, since we were going to talk about landscaping and I had a bunch of stuff to carry. I thought I'd need to make two trips from my van. Anyway, I got there about 15 minutes early and the door was locked and I was the only one there. I started wondering if it was really Thursday and almost 6 pm. I called home just to make sure. I was right. Anyway, normally the woman that unlocks the door for us is there waiting on me. But, last night she was no where. There were also no participants. It was just weird. And it was raining. So, I was out in the rain, with all my stuff for class--in the cold rain! Then, they started showing up. So, we waited a while and decided to try to find a place to go. We found a little nook with built-in benches and sat down to start. The lady who helps us get in, found us there and unlocked the door. She had forgotten us. :( She felt really bad! So, we got to have class and it went really well.
I always feel weird teaching people. I feel like I don't always know what I am talking about...or at least that I don't have enough experience with it. Aaron hates it that I feel this way and really hates it when I tell people that I don't know, and then go on to answer their question.
Okay, so it really wasn't all that twilighty, but it was hard to believe that 6 people had all, independently not been where they were supposed to be...

Times like that are freaky. And usually you don't really end up knowing why everyone was not there all at once. Maybe they thought gardening was an event not to be done in the rain, even if it was just learning about it? HUH.
I think it was twilighty! (what a cool new word)
hi: reminds me of those times when i have fallen asleep after work and woke up a little later (my brain is playing tricks on me that it is really the next morning and i need to get ready for work). and i look at the clock, but that doesn't help because i feel off my 12 hours, thinking it is the next morning at 6am instead of tonight at 6pm. yes, twlight zone sometimes it feels. enjoy :) kathleen
