2/24: looking at similes

...in the Odyssey with students.  They noticed and thought of many good things.

2/23: practicing pronunciation

 ...with one of the Latin students during office hours.

2/22: scribbling

...a scribble book and remembering how fun they were to make last year.

2/21: seeing

...a dandelion during my morning walk and the beginnings of blooms on the Japanese quince on our deck.  It made me remember that I also saw dandelions and Japanese quince blossoms at school this week.

2/20: having an hour

...at school to get some grading down before heading home.

2/19: the beginnings

...of tree blooms.  The magnolias on campus are opening up, and I saw some blossoms on other trees as I drove to school this morning.

2/18: beginning

...to see spring beauties blooming.

2/17: taking the time

...to make Shrove Tuesday pancakes even though it was a long day and we both had work to do in the evening.  The lemon sauce turned out well, and I remembered just in time that last year I added za'atar to the crepes and it was good, so I did it again this year.
