Spring is late...

We are having a very cold, wet spring.  It snowed again just last week.  It is almost May and we have planted nothing in the garden yet except the onions and garlic.  The only bonus is that the daffodils and tulips are lasting forever in this cool weather.  The leaves haven't popped open on the trees and the fruit trees have yet to blossom.  It is really crazy.  We are definitely at a higher elevation than many but we are still west coast living.  It is supposed to be glorious, warm and spring like.  Heavy sigh!

With all of this, I checked in the woods and found my annual delight.  The wild trilliums are blooming.  And that is a beautiful thing.

And on the sewing front, will be working away at one of the 3 current works in progress this evening because Husband will be watching back to back hockey games tonight!

SPRING BREAK!!!

It's official.  I am on spring break.  First of all, it was a really lovely day at school before a lovely break.  The students have been working all week to raise money for the Canadian Red Cross for Japan.  They raised over $1500.  I must say that they had the most fun with lunch time Karaoke.  They had to donate to sing.  Really hilarious!  And one of my staff challenged all the grade 6 and 7 students to raise $250 and then she, my Vice-Principal, and I would sing.  Well, of course they raised that amount of money so yes, we had to sing.  Thankfully several other teachers joined us.  And we did STOP, in the name of love.  We are all such divas!  It was great!!  Who knew the kids would like Karaoke so much?!  I am so proud of how the students all pull together for things like this and raise money for positive and helping action.

Secondly, Husband has ripped up almost all the floors on the main floor and is getting ready to install hardwood.  Nice!  I have been having lots of strange mopping floor dreams though.

Thirdly, I bought a new camera.  Way too cool.  I can get super close up shots now without getting fuzzy pictures.  Husband and I did a lovely garden tour when I got home today to try it out.

And finally, my latest finished project tried out the clothesline today.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
