Oh domah - thank you thank you thank you !!! I do so love spring. I was walking around the other day - go hiking every weekend nowadays. And I saw daffodils and crocuses... but I also, saw.... CHERRY BLOSSOMS... they are starting to bud. And I taught a lesson just last week - I printed out some spring flashcards about planting and things. And the students put them in order. It's how I taught all those words - sprouts and sprouting, roots and rooting, buds and budding, etc. THEN I got a reading for them on prejudice and discrimination that used all those words as metaphor and they matched the discrimination actions with the planting actions - the conceptual with the concrete. It was a great lesson. I was so happy to bring both lessons - I love gardening and I love teaching about discrimination and nipping it in the bud (another metaphor *smiles). So, yes, darling Domah, I care about the first day of spring... I do I do I do.
