Laowai

It’s the time of year that smells so good. I’ve been breathing deeply every time I pass these lily of the valley flowers on my window sill.

It’s also the time of year to start eating outside and going for after dinner walks.

For me, this year, it’s a dusty time of year. I’m still working on getting ready to paint our bedroom. So much work – so much sanding. I think I’ve finally gotten the walls smooth and the doors and trim are sanded enough. I’ll spend this afternoon trying to clean up all the dust. Yikes.

I’ve been thinking about how my days with my side-kick are numbered. No more half day kindergarten – she’ll be in first grade next year.

Every Monday I pick Claire up from Garden Club and all the little friends are decorated with mud. Then I call her dirt face.

And it’s the time of year to plant seeds. That’s what I’ll do this weekend plant seeds and paint walls.

Happy Spring!
