Spring is HERE!

  I love it!

I had a less-than-regular week since I substitute taught seminary Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning.  This threw my morning routine out of sync.  But, I’m not complaining because  I really enjoy teaching seminary.

RBHS took part in a music festival at Battle High School on Tuesday.  We played the first movement of Mozart’s Symphony No. 25 and Peter Warlock’s Capriol Suite (6 short movements) for two judges and they gave the Chamber Orchestra all “ones”.  I was really pleased with the performance and thankful for the very complimentary comments from the judges.  

Below are photos of some of the kids prior to performing.  

 

Evenings were less-than-regular, too.  Monday we had Lizzy Crippen over for split pea soup and Home Evening.  Tuesday was the Easter cantata rehearsal.  Wednesday evening, I attended an informational meeting on the Neighborhood Watch program.  Steve and I have signed up to be co-captains for our block.  And, Thursday evening was a Relief Society birthday celebration.  I made a gluten-free lasagna for me and another celiac sister in the ward and the RS president made gluten-free cream puffs!!! So DELICIOUS that I ate two!

Steve and I made homemade pizza on Friday night and we watched an old Shirley McLaine film called “What A Way To Go”.  It is available on Amazon Prime and I recommend it.  It has an all-star sixties cast.  I watched “A Letter to Three Wives” on Saturday evening.   It was an old black-and-white film from the late forties that was recommended by my friend, Susan Lendroth, on her blog.  Here is the link  http://www.postwhistle.com/

She blogs all about letters. 

We attended the Kansas City temple Saturday morning (St. Louis is closed for cleaning and the Southerlands are gone, anyway) and got home in time to do some yard work in the afternoon –specifically transplanting asparagus. I just tried to look up a photo of an asparagus "crown". Sadly, no luck. But, before the asparagus stalk starts to grow, the thick, pale roots spread out spider-like and look like an alien being.   I put about 15 of them into the ground yesterday.  Hopefully, all will live and grow.

Oh, I made a strawberry pie for pi-day yesterday.  We will eat it tonight with our corned beef and cabbage.
