Beautiful Day

It felt like spring here today. The sun was shining and the temperature was comfortable. After church, Mary and I worked on pruning the trees at church. We enjoyed the time together and were able to complete the task in a couple of hours. Mary is getting quite good at pruning trees.

After a little siesta to refresh ourselves, I went outside and started working on our yard some more. The weeds got away from me last year on one of my strawberry pyramids so I spent time getting the dead grass off of it. There are still some strawberry plants left but I will have to spend some time replanting this spring. I cleaned out the chicken coop and let it air out for a while. I, then simply spent time cleaning up the sticks and other things in our yard.

In between jobs, I spent time on the porch swing watching the chickens. It is so much fun to watch them play and interact with each other. I don't know what it is about chickens but they are just plain, old fashioned, good entertainment. It is interesting how many people stop on their walks to take a few minutes out of their day to watch them.

Now, night has settled in and it is time to get ready for the week. I need to pull the materials together for my lesson plan for tomorrow afternoon. We are doing our last unit on the solar system and are going to make models of comets. It has been a very relaxing day which has refreshed me for the week ahead.
