we're dropping into the single digits tonight . . . -10 to -15 F with windchill. Good grief. At least we didn't get any more snow like the east side of the state.
Just thought I'd share the newest addition to our kitchen. A few years ago I bought this stained glass hanging for my sweet Aunt Grace because she loved cardinals. She went home to heaven just about a year ago, and recently her husband gave this back to me. So the birdies have come back to Pennsylvania to roost. Jim just hung it up in the window for me yesterday and I love it.
In other kitchen news, we moved a very awkward counter peninsula that has been bugging me for 5 years, so that the kitchen is now a big open rectangle. Much better! Picture tomorrow.
Off now to get ready for co-op tomorrow. I teach a writing class to 6th and 7th graders, and co-teach a world geography class based on Around the World in 80 Days to a group of about a dozen kids ranging from 2nd to 7th grades. That class has been a lot of fun - a lot of interesting food and art and games from all over the world . . . very organic learning. Gotta love it.
Last week we were learning about India and had the kids wrapped up in saris and dhotis (bedsheets!) and eating Naan with dahl, with mango on the side. And we played snakes and ladders. Betcha didn't know that originated in India - tied in the with the whole good karma/bad karma reincarnation thing. It's VERY bad karma in snakes and ladders to land on a snake's head.

I wish I had realized you had India coming up! Manly and I shared a naan pizza here in Oki. It was yummmmmy. :-)
I love the stained glass piece. I think that's very sweet he gave it back to you. What a lovely memory piece.
