This week has been a lot so far, but today I caught up on some sewing and laundry, and finally started the bigger kid on his state-mandated standardized test. It was nice to just quietly cross items off my list.

Speaking of lists:

• Sized my children’s hat up to adult size, for a gardening themed swap. I’m excited to make one for myself. (Unseen sewing included beginning another pants order for a repeat customer. Note to self: document the making process!)
• Brunnera, given to me by a favorite neighbor.
• What the heck is that broccoli-looking stuff growing in the ivy in the front yard?
• Pretty daffodils in the backyard. Among just a few flowers that came with the house and surprised us.
• Our weeping cherry, sparking joy.
• Maybe a hydrangea? I don’t remember a hydrangea being here, but it might have been butchered right before we moved in, like the forsythia. I’m excited to see what this turns out to be.
• Sunset behind the healthier of our two Pieris japonica.

Of course I just remembered that I need to design the flyer for our neighborhood egg hunt, so off I go to do that one last thing before bed.
