Randomness...

I won another book from Goodreads! Strange Animals by Jarod K. Anderson. Haven't read it yet, but it looks good, doesn't it? 



I've been learning to make wire jewelry with my niece; I'm not very good at it yet, but it's a lot of fun, and next week we're going to learn how to grow Bonsai trees! 

Two Saturdays ago I went with my sisters to see the funniest play: PETER PAN GOES WRONG! It's hilarious. I haven't laughed that hard since I saw their first play: THE PLAY GOES WRONG. If you ever get a chance to see either of these...GO! They're so entertaining. 

I have spring break coming up next week and I'm very much looking forward to having seven days free of work in which to hike, sleep in, read a slew of books, play some board games, catch a movie or two, craft, paint, and just have some needed fun. 

Other good things:  all the pink blossoms on the flowering plum trees in my neighborhood, the bright yellow forsythia bushes that are blooming, the morning songs of the robins in my backyard, warm sunshiny days, cool breezes at night, and the lovely light of spring.

  2. It's been a while since I won a book from Goodreads. I used to make beaded jewelry until my eyesight got too bad. It was fun though.

  6. The birdsong has been really extraordinary recently. The migrants are passing through and adding their voices to the mix. Enjoy your break. My older daughter who works with the school district is on her break this week, something she's been looking forward to since Christmas break!

  12. Yay for spring break! I've decided to dig about 80ft of my yard up to make a flowerbed. I've dug half, by hand, and am already exhausted haha

    1. Gardening is exhausting! I've been pitching a losing battle with the weeds in my front yard. We rocked in the landscaping a few years ago thinking it would make it easier not to have to mow every week, but instead it's me vs. the weeds now, and the weeds are winning! ;D
