April has been a very busy month! I spent a little time in Arizona, visiting Emily in Tucson, and picking up my mom in Prescott. I've been working on bird projects with two groups of third-graders all month: 75 different bird projects that needed resources, organization, writing instruction, proofreading, etc. Then there was Easter, which is always a big deal at our house. This year was no exception: 39 people and 5 dogs (and it was raining!). Then I got sick!
April is the cruelest month, it turns out.
Anyway...all this stuff has been cutting into my saling time. Today, the last day of April, coincides with the annual Mary Lou Heard garden tour. This is an annual event for Carol & me. Before we hit the tour we managed to scrape up one interesting goodie: an aluminum chair (at least I think it's aluminum). I think it will be fun in my garden, but only if it's in the shade...wouldn't want to cause any second-degree burns. I like it! $20.
Here are a few shots from the garden tour. Most of these people have all kinds of little goodies that they've scraped up at yard sales and flea markets tucked away in their amazing gardens. (I'm going to be on the lookout for a moon gazing pond...see the little one with the frog?) Inspiring, but also somewhat disheartening. These gardens are full-time jobs, and unfortunately, I already have one of those. Someday I look forward to full-time puttering.
How's your April going?
Ooh, a Waste Land reference. How literary.
