Spring comes to Maine, at least indoors…..and the Godspeed…update!
I taught a class on bindings today, and it went really well….I think there is good hope for this class, and we covered a lot of territory. However, I’m whupped, and really REALLY hoping the general achiness is a result of being tired and on my feet all day and NOT catching Joshua’s flu-bug which kept him home for three straight days (the first time since, I think, pre-school he’s been out for three consecutive days. In the meantime…Spring!
I bought the tulips for the Frayed Edges lunch on Monday last as a special treat. Then, walking down the street in town (“downtown” Camden is about two blocks long), I spied this bunny casserole in the window at Stonewall Kitchen….$7.18 later, it was mine! So spring is definitely coming…..Eli discovered the tips of the daffodils about a half inch above the ground, and I noticed on the way home from teaching today that the trees have that fuzzy look about them when the buds begin to swell!
The last photo is of the Godspeed, the replica sailing ship built at Rockport Marine for the Jamestown Plantation in Virginia. Last weekend when we were at wrestling and karate tournaments we missed the launch of the Godspeed. It is now at anchor at a floating dock on the far side of the harbor next to the Rockport Marine building where it was built. They seem to be doing more work on it before it sails South next month. Hope they announce in the paper when they will hoist the sails…I wanna take pictures! Once in the water, it looks MIGHTY small for having sailed across the Atlantic. Thank you, I’ll take a jet!
