It's A Beautiful Day

Really, it was a gorgeous day today! The sky was blue, the mountains on the west side were glittering with snow. I didn't have to wear a coat. We kept our students up on the playground at the end of recess to do some teambuilding games for 15 minutes before we took them off to class again. It has just been such a topsy-turvy week that they are out of sorts and acting out. So we did a couple of running and screaming games. It was great! Everyone got lots of vitamin D and fresh air.

It stays light until almost 6:30 now and I'm going to plant radishes and tomatoes this weekend. It's time to trim all of our trees and the lawn is starting to grow again. This is a glorious time of year!! Yeah!! Soon, we'll be eating dinner at the patio table. It is just so lovely to spend time outside when it is like this. I saw little trees that are covered in pink blossoms, others have that pale green aura of buds that are nearly ready to explode into leaves. Kitty Cat runs in through the open door and gallops laps around the house and then charges back outside again to roll in the warm dirt. We're all happy to be able to revel in nature. Sigh. Spring is just a wonderful thing.
