Wild Weather in the Forecast

It's 70 degrees out today, sunny and beautiful. A perfect "day before" the first day of Spring.

Tomorrow's forecast includes the possiblity of 6 inches of SNOW!!

Fortunately nothing we have planted right now should suffer from a little snow on top of the soil, especially since it will all be melted by Sunday, if it really snows. We have carrots, beets, green and red leaf lettuce planted, along with some marigolds to help ward off bugs, as we keep the garden organic.

The kids did well in school today, our daughter's math skills are above-grade level (she'll start 3rd grade later this year but is done with her 2nd grade work so we're in review and prep), and her penmanship is really improving (she's a lefty) as she works on her spelling - and what thrills me now is that she cares how great it looks, it's not just an exercise because because "Mommy says so" anymore. Our son is finally exhibiting interest in writing, so I'm hoping that will spur more of an interest in phonics. He's a little ahead of his sister, who was still resistant at 5, but now at 8 reads on a 6th grade level. I don't mind them moving at their own pace as long as they don't wait "too" long to be ready and stay generally at or above target for their grade level. Right now they're both doing great.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I'll admit... I'm hoping it snows, LOL.
