Afternoon announcements at SLHS:

"Good afternoon, this is your captain speaking. Several bears have been spotted in the woods behind the school. Until further notice, all students and teachers are to stay out of the woods. Additionally, teachers are asked not to park in the teacher's parking lot since the bears may break into your cars looking for food. Please respect the natural habitat that we share with local wildlife and stay out of the woods."

Are you kidding!!

I'd better take the twinkies out of the trunk...

So we installed a zip-line on the swing set today...

Felix made a birdhouse with Aiden earlier this spring, and now a bluebird family has moved in!

I spent the afternoon getting my gardens in SOME sort of order - the irises bloomed and there's a line of purple across the back. The gladioli are coming up and I added some alpine daisies and dianthus to the garden. Aiden and I planted purple impatiens across the front and sunflowers by the door. Then I planted a purple clematis in a pot and arranged a line of trellises so it can grow sideways instead of up. Will it work? We'll see...
