Oh dear, so much going on it makes the head spin.  many students have Spring Break this week and a couple visited which was really nice.  I always like to know how they are doing.  But the weather has been unseasonably warm and I have had to go home right after school to do some yard work.  So no late stays for me this week.  I am trying a new thing this year.  I bought organic potting soil and biodegradable seed trays.  I will be starting many seed indoors.  I have two basement windows.  I will set the trays in the windows for the warmth and then set out the ones that need to be cold stratified, when the time comes.  Hopefully this will counteract any seasonal problems that have been causing the veggies to suffer in the past two years.  Finger crossed...  As far as the perennial herbs, the lemon balm, chives, and oregano are already growing so I am super glad about that.

I have been entering more work in shows lately.   It takes a lot of time and money and I have been involved in association and town volunteer activities, so the art took a back seat for a few month, sadly. 

The language "lessons" have also taken precedence.  I am going to be the one to help hubby get by in Prague and Budapest.  I think my pronunciation is fine, but remembering the words... that's hard work.  But I study a bit nearly every day and I have audio on the computer and tapes and cds.  Today I go to order the money for the trip.  Cannot wait to see how pretty the currency is.  European currency puts ours to shame...  When will the US utilize some artists to remake our bills?  Seriously...
