Spring?

So, spring is taking its sweet time getting here. It's getting a bit old. We've had snow since October.

We are in the double digits now, and I'm crossing my fingers against more snow.

But, look! Crocus!

Front Door.

So my dad made me a BEAUTIFUL stained glass window for my front door.

I cannot stop staring at it.

Siiiiigh....

My students love their cell phones. And I mean LOVE their phones. Bordering on unhealthy obsession. Addiction.

It's a huge problem at school, and one with no clear solution. I mean, I could spend my entire day dealing with nothing but their cell phones. Not the hill I want to die on.

So, since it's such a problem, I bet my grade 10 class that I didn't think they could go the full 80 minutes without a phone being used. I didn't want to see a phone, iPod, nothing.

Needless to say, they didn't make the full 80 minutes before someone cracked. My grade 11's maintained it was because grade 10's have no self control, and proceeded to go the full 80 minutes with not a single cell phone sighting. If thy went to the bathroom, they left them behind.

Took my grade 10's three days to finally get it.

So, I owe my classes cupcakes.

They'll be happy. And I was happy. Got a couple phone-free days out of the deal.

Calves.

This past Easter weekend was very relaxing. Had a fab time at the lake - enjoyed the nice weather a little too much... got a sizable sunburn from sitting outside reading.

Cute little fuzzies.

Dom and I took a little adventure over to the farm to check out the brand new calves! It was a very informative morning, as neither of use really knew that much about cattle farming.

Hello, cow friend.

Cows are very curious, but pretty dumb. They will come within a couple feet of you, stare and sniff, but if you approach or move suddenly they run away.

Very, very pregnant.

Two days old!

Unrelated... but we visited horses too!
