where's a kite

It's a very windy day here in Mesa, AZ. Makes me wish I had a kite. It would be great fun right now.  Also makes me wish I didn't have allergies! Spring is definitely sprung for us in the low desert. the trees have put on or are putting on new leaves, my sweet peas are blooming, as are the freesias, stocks, nasturtiums, the climbing roses, petunias, snapdragons, violas, tons of red salvia, one white iris, and my daffodils will be blooming soon. the sugar snap peas are covered with blooms and peas. Dad's tomatoes are producing, even thro the plants look like they are dying. the basil is going strong, but is needs to be cut back. which I hate to do 'cause the blooms attract so many bees, which I need if I want tomatoes or peas or new flowers for next year. I let some of my flowers go to seed so I don't have to keep buying new plants or seed every season. I did get two mint plants, apple and chocolate, as well as a Thai basil. somehow I managed to not lose any plants this winter. I hope I can continue the trend over the summer.

School is keeping me busy as well as church. My mat120 midterm is on 3/9...scary..it's 30% of my grade which is a high b right now. Latin is going well I have a solid b there too.

this Friday is the ward's creative culture night. we (the family) are going to display stuff and bring citrus squares( I haven't decided if they'll lemon, lime, or orange). Saturday is the Stake women's conference. Sunday is church and choir practice. oh and on Tuesday is the RS activity committe meeting.

I'm still busy decluttering, and cleaning stuff. I'm trying to finish some projects that have been hanging around for way too long. trouble is I keep starting new projects. oh, well I get bored.

Arrgg.....

I cannot believe it's been over a month since I posted anything. Since then I've started  back at MCC, taking latin and intermediate algebra. I manage to finish reading "The Hunger Games" Awesome book, I can't wait to read the rest of the series. I've gotten into making soda pop tab bracelets. all the flowers in my garden are starting to bloom.

some phrases I like from my latin book:

"Omnia flumina in mare fluunt et cum eo miscenter."

"All rivers flow into the sea and are mixed with it."

"Qae studia gravis te semper delectant, aut quae nunc desideras?

"Which important pusuit always pleases you and what do you now desire?"

"Qui mortalis sine amicitia et probitate et beneficio in alios potest esse beatus?"

"What mortal is able to be happy without friendship and honesty and kindness toward others?"
