Almost time to shift to summer mode... but there's so much to finish first.

Spring is damp. That's the general gist of things. This weekend was not conducive to doing much outdoors, so I dug into some piddly little house chores (and some usual ones like laundry). I made a batch of sourdough bread, too-- first one in about a year. My old starter went bad, so I finally got a new one going. I'm looking forward to toast this morning. 

Back to work-- we've still got plenty to do. I'm not in the packing up mode just yet. Two weeks to go for seniors, and a few more days after that for the underclasses, which means, after June 7, I'll have two students, total. It tends to wind down like that. Next year, we are shifting our schedule (we are our own SAU starting July 1), and graduation will be the last day. No more dribbles and sputters. I'm looking forward to that. 

I have to plan my writing weekend for young folks, too. I think I have maybe five kids signed up? I'll have to put that project on the front burner soon. I hope it runs; it'll be fun to have a few kids who want to write hanging out at the Frost Place for two days. 

And my own book launch is on pause; I still have not heard when the new release date is, so ?? It's out of my hands, but still, it's something I would like to get put together. 

And I have writing to do; a friend's blurb for her upcoming chapbook, a book review... poems of my own to start shuffling to see if there's a book in there somewhere... 

And the garden planting: I need to get the peas planted. The lettuce is up! Now, for a few warm, sunny days...

I feel the gears shifting into summer mode, but I have several things to finish first. Such is life, eh? 

Have a good day, friends. It's still May. Hold your loved ones close.
