spring break

Hello again. I'm on spring break! My first official spring break, in fact.

Our tiny camellia shrub is in bloom, isn't it adorable? And the Bradford Pear trees are growing foliage before flowers, which is the strangest sight, considering we've been around Bradfords for a decade and they always bloom first and leaf later.

Did you know that rosemary plants flowered? A lovely periwinkle blue.

These pictures are of Quinn making a slingshot. He claims that it totally worked, but I was making lunch and cannot attest to having witnessed any such event.

I made tortellini, spinach and sausage soup for lunch -- it was so good that we just ate the leftovers for dinner. ;) 

What else is new with me... We've been watching Felicity, which is pretty entertaining. Oh, also, check out Sarah Zuniga. She's a very talented singer/songwriter who I met in my Linguistics class. Logan and I are hoping to shoot a video with her soon. :)

Today I've been reading Seth Godin's Stop Stealing Dreams, which relates his thoughts on the current education system and how we need to revolutionize schooling for our new age. It's so sensible and obvious and, frankly, infuriating that the taught mindset is based on Industrial Revolution era values. If you're interested in education or the betterment of America, it's a well-articulated, interesting read.

Anyway, on to homework and et cetera... 

Have a lovely weekend!
