Another cycle begins

Though they’ve been blooming for a while, today it feels like it really counts. In the 70s yesterday, the grass is more green than brown. Redbuds and bradford pears are blooming, and the tulip trees’ and hackberries’ buds are obvious.

The sound of lawnmowers is heard throughout the land.

Only five more weeks until the semester’s over — this is both good news and bad news. Still a lot to get done, but in five weeks, no matter what happens, it’s done. One of the best things about teaching is that things actually get finished. We get to start all over again the next semester, hoping to finally get it right.
