4/17: remembering another good thing

...from yesterday.  Yesterday morning, as I was getting ready to leave for school, I noticed some blue stains near the hem of my pants that weren't there when I had ironed them a little earlier.  I showed them to Chris, and he asked, "Did you walk by any spiderwort?"  I had:  I had passed spiderwort as I was taking out some garbage and must have rubbed against them.  I didn't mind the stains so much then:  I was wearing flowers.  Remembering that this morning--when I was again taking out some trash--made me smile.

4/16: more folding

...of students' pamphlets, this time on my own as I worked out formatting kinks.

4/15: folding

...artist-book poem pamphlets with a student at the end of the day.  Though it prolonged my time at school, it was a good interaction.

4/14: reading

...a student's thoughts about milk in "The Miraculous Pitcher" by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

4/13: reading

 ...Yeats' "Song of Wondering Aengus" today in A Poem for Every Day of the Year.  I remember first reading it in Cricket magazine when I was a kid.

4/12: 2 turtles

...found each other on our driveway.

4/11: black seed powder

...in my coffee and in my fried rice.  I'm trying it out for its possible health benefits, and I like the taste.

4/10: a lacewing

...that I helped get out of the house this evening.  Such a beautiful green body and amazing wings.
