Yesterday was Earth Day. Rather than "celebrate" we had a quiet day at home. The boys let me sleep late... we got right into our schedule when I woke up and then we spent the afternoon at my folks' -- the boys are doing odd jobs to pay off a canoe my dad has offered to "sell" them.
Today was a good day. Schoolwork went well. Music practice went well. The boys chose to do extra chores -- Matthew did laundry, Grant did windows. We had a good SpiralScouts meeting. Grant had his horseback riding lesson today. Matthew played for several hours with other kids, and riding his bike.
My friend Jenny stopped by for dinner. We got to spend over an hour just talking and having a good time. Tom and Grant showed up just as she was leaving.
AND... the yellow iris began to bloom today. I didn't even remember I had planted irises there by the fishpond. It was a lovely surprise to look out after the rain left and see them swaying in the sunshine.
