flowering pear – Ruth E. Hendricks

The Spring Equinox is March 20 at 7:02 AM. Just THREE weeks to go. I checked the Old Farmer’s Almanac for the official word.

In another 5 weeks, it’ll look like this in our part of the country….I have to keep it in mind.

Blossoms and green grass, bulbs shooting up through the earth. The RedBud will bloom.

Three weeks ’til Official Spring. This photo was taken two years ago the first week of April.

March is Friday. I think I have it calculated right.

You hear a lot about people working twelve hour days. Every day. I feel fortunate 8 is what’s required. We made up a snow day Tuesday, staying until 7. It was a beautiful day as I saw the beginning and the end of it at school, sky clear and blue. Morning view from the East End of the school and evening view from the West End. Out for a fire drill today I heard the clock chime like Westminster and didn’t even know it had that feature. Really amazing to hear as we stood with the kids in a wiggly line, getting a headcount and waiting to be called back into the building.

Morning Light at Ft Pitt — Ft. Pitt School is a little over 100 years old. You can see they cleaned the brick.

Flowering pear trees before sunset at school — Coming out the driveway on the other side I saw this angle and light.
