Oh, the Sun, the Son

So today we saw the sun. It was very nice, and despite being windy, I headed out to try to plant a few seeds in planters. I hate to garden and I have no idea what I'm doing, but if the seed packet is right, the swiss chard might be ok outside. We planted a couple tomato seeds and some parsley and basil and I put them in the window indoors.

Ben is going through a growth spurt right now which is seriously impeding his cognitive powers. His math book asked him how many inches in a foot and he measured his foot. When I looked at him funny and asked him the question out loud, he said: "Oh, right." He's far more tired than usual and the school battle has been uphill. I am considering giving him a break and resuming again in a week or so. But he and I both want our summer off.

Holy Week is my favorite week of the year. I've been struggling with just being so overwhelmingly busy it has been hard to make a place for worship. My morning time has been good, but briefer than I had hoped. I am working to bring my whole self into the events of this week.

Good luck with the gardening. I know you really don't like it, but once you have a few successes, it will seem like much more fun. Yard to table food is so wonderful.
