Well, the elderberries are in full bloom. The figs and most of the maples have bright green, new leaves. The cherry’s bright blossoms festoon its limbs. The grass is growing so fast we can’t keep it short enough to look like a lawn.
SPRING!
M is enjoying track, his first meet will be next Thursday. That is also the last concert of the year for G, later in the evening. M’s schedule will slow down in a couple more weeks — G is looking at relief sooner, and he is already enjoying the nice long evenings when he can play outside.
I have been fighting headaches a little more frequently than usual, but I think I figured out why, so will be working this next week to see if my hunch is correct. If not… well, c’est la! When I have time, I keep playing Babble (see the link on the sidebar), and I think I’m getting better at it!

The elderberry trees are in full bloom. The peach and pear trees are beginning to show some color. The cherry and apple trees aren’t far behind. We can see the beginnings of plums, now the petals have fallen.
Tulips, daffodils, lilies, irises, even some clematis are already budding! A few places have jasmine blooming, but ours is usually later. Dandelions are everywhere…
And life is good. Will be planting potatoes and a few cold-season greens this next week. SPRING is definitely here!

Had a very busy week!
Went skiiing at White Pass over last weekend. The boys had a great time playing in the snow — I had a great time staying quiet indoors.
Monday the children went to school. Tuesday (and through most of next week) G and I have been hanging out together while the WASLs are administered. M is in school for the period, as the WASLs in 7th grade are much less time-consuming, and actual instruction has been planned for the classes.
Had a small burn pile on Tuesday afternoon, and something in it caused me to have a nasty allergic reaction. Sure enough, it’s triggered the itchy-burny skin reaction I have to perfumes again. Just as I had been able to be comfortable going places again!
argh.
Yesterday and today, G and I have been making stamped calendars with Mother; a really nice woman does “Close to My Heart” workshops and sales.
And M is now in track, not sure exactly which events he will do, but certainly he will have fun.
