March 3

This morning I thought it was March 4. I even gave one of my students his birthday card and pencil and we all sang "Happy Birthday" in sign language (just learned it!). Then the kids started to write in their journals and checked the calendar. Let's just say I told my student we would sing again tomorrow. Weird that I would jump over the 3rd of March. Long ago (1984) I proclaimed it an invented holiday. Maybe in my subconscious it was a holiday I didn't want to celebrate this year. I mean, 24 years is a long time.

Even though Spring doesn't start for another 3 weeks officially, it has started in our house. Capris are out, sweaters put away. Trees are budding, hummingbirds humming, and the wind is surely blowing like a lion!
