Career Day, Spring Break, Gardening

Hallelujah! Friday is here!

Today is Career Day at school. It is also the last school day before Spring Break. What can I say?

At Career Day we will have various speakers that will come in and speak with the students about various career choices. Of course for Kindergarten the discussion will be much simpler, but will expose the kiddo's to some different types of careers. In the past we have had nurses, pharmacists, chefs, and delivery drivers come an speak. It is always a good time for all. I will report more later.

The last day of school before Spring Break. Let me say that again. The last day of school before Spring Break. It took approximately 120 school days for it to get here; and it finally got here. I can finally rest my throat. My allergies, a cold, and constant talking in class begins to take it's toll this time of the year. And this year is no exception. The coughing, clearing of my throat, and other unpleasantries can finally take a rest and let my throat get better.

Another plus with Spring Break is I can get back to the garden. I will plan on putting in a vegetable garden next week. Hopefully all of the freezes and frost are over for the season. Tentatively I will plant tomatoes, squash, peppers, corn, cucumbers, beans, and perhaps some other surprise items. I can hardly wait. There's nothing like supplying the rabbits, aphids, beetles, and other assorted creatures with free lunch all summer.
