Sammy

S: Och, ich will aber in die Schule.
K: Es sind Ferien, da ist gar niemand, ausser vielleicht ein paar Kakerlaken und Mäuse.
S denkt nach.
S: Nein, ich glaube, die haben keine Haustiere.

S: But I want to go to school.
K: It's spring break, there's nobody there except for maybe a few cockroaches and mice.
S gets pensive.
S: No, I don't think they have pets there.

Frühling

Bench

We inherited a cute old kids bench from our friends Kevin & Kim (stars of the New Mexico Philharmonic)

Gespielt:

"Der Papa ist krank." (nur gespielt)
Emma: "Ja ich weiss, ich hab den schon gedoktort."

Emmas Schlussfolgerung

"Im Sommer müssen alle Leute wegfahren. Denn dann ist Albuquerque zu."

Canopy

So we've finally figured out how to put our open-ended Birthday/Christmas gifts from Grandma & Grandpa H to good use: a backyard canopy!  We finished getting it up today (almost all K's handy-work) and I enjoyed working out there this afternoon.  You can see the sun-line along my score sitting on the table in the first picture, illustrating how I was able to sit comfortably shaded. :)

So thanks to Grandma & Grandpa, we can look forward to comfortable outdoor work sessions for the rest of the spring.  Meanwhile, I'm making reasonable progress on filling the hot-tub with earth and stone.  Quite a ways to go still, but a start is a start.
