1. After enjoying two weeks of Spring Break, I slipped quietly back in to the school routine. Gearing up for the last six weeks of classes, last weekend I glibly ignored the papers that clamored to be corrected and the lesson plans that needed to be planned. Because a friend was competing in the Southern California Junior Bach Festival, we drove to Ventura on Saturday afternoon and enjoyed listening to an hour of Bach Minuets, Preludes and Fugues while gazing at beautiful stained glass windows.
2. After Bach, while The Professor rode his bike (in preparation for the 55 mile Ride for Literacy he's participating in this weekend), I strolled along the beach path at Ventura Beach State Park. The yellow flowers were blooming brilliantly.
3. The week passed gently. Heirloom tomatoes and basil seedlings were planted.4. Students were tutored, papers were corrected and a pot of tea was enjoyed at my favorite tea shop All Things Tea.
5. A little knitting, a little walking, a little reading filled my evenings. All in all, Willow's week was wonderful.
How was yours?
It sounds like you had a busy, productive, and enjoyable week, Willow.

Oh, Willow. I love love love Bach. Bet that was wonderful to experience.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a good week Willow. Where is the 55 mile route? Your photos are gorgeous...
ReplyDeleteThat stained glass window is incredible. Love stained glass.
ReplyDeleteThe yellow flowers look so cheery. The thought of homegrown tomatoes set my mouth to watering! We are a long, long way off from planting in my neck of the woods.
A gentle week sounds perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful stained glass window which sets the mood for the music quite well, I'd say!
I love those kind of weeks. I love the fresh new seedlings...That's my goal for this week...a raised garden bed for my heirloom tomatoes.

You DID have a wonderful week! I haven't listened to a fugue since music appreciation class in college ~ which reminds me that I should listen to something besides talk radio occasionally ;)
