I planted peas this afternoon. I don't think I've ever planted anything outside here in International Falls before the first of May. I may regret it but hopefully not. Two weekends ago I started tomatoes, spinach, oregano and parsley in the house. It is definitely beginning to feel like spring here. We haven't had snow on the ground for a while already, but are only very slowly greening as we've had very little rain. We are expecting rain this week so hopefully will speed up the green process.
We had a busy Easter as Jeff and Rachel worked in the sound booth and I worked in the kitchen preparing breakfast for the church family, an annual teen fundraiser for their summer missions trip. We then had Easter dinner here with Nelsons, Sinclairs and Bob Nye. I left church a bit early to be able to come home and send Sarah back off to school. We had a wonderful weekend with her.
Stephen is in Atlanta for the week. He is working as a student volunteer at the International Computer Human Interaction conference. He will be presenting a paper with the rest of the team it was researched and written with. He will also get a tour of the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Speech sections are next Saturday and Rachel is excited and ready. It has been a good season for her.
Enjoy spring!

I hope your peas make it! Mine are up but growing slowly. The danger here is that they may rot from the wet before they sprout.
We'll be looking forward to hearing how speech sections go and praying for Rachel to do her best.
I sounds like Stephen is having a grand time in Atlanta. What experiences he is getting! What exposure!
Thanks so much for sharing a bit of your busy lives!
