For Earth Day today, I went out and spent nearly three hours gardening. A couple of hours in my own garden, mostly pulling weeds, and another hour volunteering at the school garden, and trying to guide kids from having zero success to maybe a little bit of success.

Spring has been great. Lots of time outside. There have been the normal activities: sports games, playtime. We did a mini-art show at the library, visited lambs, and spent time with friends and family.

Easter was nice this year. I tried a lot of new things, mixed with old traditions. We did a normal egg hunt, resurrection eggs, sang in the choir at church, dyed eggs, and had daily devotionals about Jesus. I also gave up most social media for Lent, flew a kite, bought some Easter decorations, did a puzzle of Jesus, went to an Easter display, made a flower arrangement, went to the temple, and walked in the cemetery at sunrise. My favorite might have been that early morning walk: it felt so significant to think about the resurrection on Easter Sunday in the cemetery, and at the same time of day that disciples found out that Jesus was risen.
