Spring Bounty and Plum Cake

 Oh my, the blossoms are rich around our neighborhood.  I wish they lasted longer.  

 Speaking of blossoms, here's a plum blossom eating a popsicle.

 I was sad that the grocery store strawberries TODAY were feeble.  Last weekend they were so red.  Scrumptious!

 Blue-eyed wonder popsicle close-up!

 A little smoothie making!

And last, a smile from a piggy.  

I moved my computer so I have not had my hands on the keyboard quite as often.  The end of school is all-consuming.  I am enjoying our folk and fairy tale unit very much.  We're learning about classic literature motifs and the simple archetypes.  I am so proud of the students for studying the archetype table and determining what archetype fits them (quite a few orphans and warriors in the bunch!)

Last night we dined at Jeff and Christie's.  They sure can do a synchronized kitchen dance.  It made me realize that I haven't really used my cooking skills for about ten years.  Ha!  I aim to chop and dice, mix and stir a lot more starting in June!  Confession:  I have not taken my new food processor out of the box.  I DID buy a ginger grater, a tool that hulls strawberries, and some sturdy wooden spoons at the discount store.  Better dining might be in our future.  
What have you been doing?  Writing?  Drawing?  Knitting?  Drinking tea and looking out the window?  Reading?
Bless your heart.  Thank you for stopping in!
