Que feliz estoy de escuchar to voz, mi amiga. Gracias a Dios para su amistad. Me alegra mucho de hablar contigo.

It's been a mild, beautiful day. The wind is strong but the sun has been warm. I transplanted some daffodils and tulips that were failing to thrive in their pots inside. Figured they had a better chance outside even if the nights are still cold and the days unpredictable. They would have died inside. Everyone has gone for a bike ride down to the bee man's house. I stayed to watch the rice cooking. I'm so glad I did! I would have missed an important to me phone call. How sweet is friendship.

We had a slower school day today. We are all worn out from winter and a slow spring. I have cut out some of the more burdensome aspects of school to give us all a breather. Especially since this week starts two weeks of extremely late nights and extra pressure to prepare for a ballet recital with a "healthy" dose of dental visits and end of the year exams thrown in. It promises to be more than we want to deal with. But at the same time I attended a conference this weekend that has sent me home with new ideas and plans. I feel like a tulip bulb just poking my head out of the dirt; I want to stay in my warm bed but hope draws me forward.

Peeking through

Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me!

After yesterday's rain and flooding and today's sun and warmth the snow is almost gone and these little guys are peeking up to see if it's safe to come out. What a glorious day!
