Of Fridays, Fires, and Flowers

First the flowers...my little tiny Santolinas (Lavender Cotton) are finally opening up....just a few. Cute, cute, cute. The flowers are less than 1/2 an inch when fully open. I'm hoping by time the weekend is over the mass of little flowers will be open. Cute, cute, cute.


I've been praying for the fire fighters and residents of the Santa Barbara area with the outbreak and spread of the Jesusita fire this week. My sister and brother-in-law are under evacuation orders. For tonight sis thinks they're safe. The fire is moving away from them.

Friday, yay! We have 13 days of school left and about that much work to get done. I haven't had a relaxed end to the school year like this-ever. I'm still busy with details, reports, cleaning up the room, etc. But, no IEPs. Usually I have 4-6 in May. None! I didn't think it was possible.
