Springtime/Nearing the End

Well, it's springtime here in Cache Valley, which is essentially the same as winter and fall. Beautiful sunny days alternating with days of storminess and snow. The days this week have been sunny and up into the 70s, just fabulous weather! Rained last night a little, and this morning it snowed. Yuck. Really, just yuck. And now, because the day has warmed some, it has made everything slushy. I hope my flowers survive.

Speaking of flowers, my friend Sara gave me bulbs to plant. I've only got pots, so I stuck them in there. It wasn't until someone asked me that I realized that I didn't know what they were. Sara says she thinks they are probably tulips, although there might be some daffodils in the mix. She says the colors are mixed, too, so I guess the color will be a surprise when the flower comes. I've only had two (of about 10) that have come up, I wonder if the rest will just wait for a while. I dunno if they'll come up this year or not.

We are in the last term of the school year. We have about three weeks of class left. I have 12 days until the final concert and only 5 days of band after that. Wow, seems funny to think that I've been teaching 5 years. I still feel like a rookie in lots of ways. I'm excited for summer to come, though, I love that time of year. I hope that I have time to relax and play. Last summer seemed over-scheduled in a way. I think this one will be alright, but I do have some things that ought to be done (like planning for next year...).

*Sigh*

Well, the bad news first, I guess. I haven't posted in almost a month. Now for the good news: not much has happened. March is this long, tedious month. There are no school breaks in March, and in Cache Valley the month of March is still winter. Lame. My band kids did a great job at festival on April 1, many thought they could have done better, which is true, but I'm glad they feel alright about their performance. This week marks the beginning of Spring Break, maybe something exciting will happen. By the way, I think Elder Holland's talk was my favorite.
