Contest...

Here is a link to a student writing contest. I know this is Photography class, but I believe I have a few students who would qualify for this...

In the mean time, I have gotten my butt outside as soon as I get home this week to garden. Cut the dead branches off the butterfly bush/tree that my Grandma Berry gave me. I pulled weeds in the grass by hand - we do not fertilize, use weed killer, or apply any chemicals (cheaper and more effective). I also moved the rocks that border the veggie garden area. I expanded that area by 1/3 and hope to be able to fit a lot more this year. The herbs I planted and keep on the porch are doing nicely despite the cold nights. And perhaps the best of all, I was able to make a salad yesterday using fresh herbs! First of the season. Yum yum...
