A few ramblings, nothing much--but it's not raining!

The sky is blue, and there are few clouds. I sincerely hope today is less windy and a whole lot less wet. We have had a long stretch of rain/snow/wet, dating all the way back to last summer. The rivers are threatening to flood yet again, and it's a struggle for folks to feel springish. 

That all said, it's also Saturday, I got up early, and my chores are already half-finished (it's not even 7am). This is good, since I'm on Holly-watching duty today, until nightfall. We'll figure out something or other to keep us entertained, I am quite sure. It's just a lot easier if I'm not mired in house chores while she wants to play.

It's been a long week-- strange, isn't it, when it's technically a "short week" at school-- just four days. But we are all due for a vacation week. Well, I am, anyhow. It's a slog, from the end of February til the end of April, mainly due to weather and cranky students. Not that they have been too cranky, but the seniors, as I predicted, have lost any motivation they ever had to get anything done on time or well, since they took their "trip"-- never a good thing, but this crew is not the most motivated on the best days. So yes, a break will be nice. 

I don't have plans for the break, really. I usually have a long list of spring cleaning and/or yard stuff I want to accomplish, and then, whoosh! the week is over, and I am just as tired as I went into it. I'm not doing that this year. I refuse. Okay, maybe I'll vac/dust upstairs-- the cobwebs are getting pretty evident. But yard stuff will be weather-dependent, and I know it's far too early to get things really going anyhow. Maybe pull the winter wind-blown trash from the hedges. And maybe G will help, which would be fantastic.

So, Saturday. Sunshine. Warmer. I could get used to this. 

Enjoy your day,
