It's been a long time since I've posted here - a very busy year. Things are gearing up in the courtyard with several students doing garden cleanup each day during study hall. Our crocuses, daffodils and tulips have bloomed again this year. They looked very nice around the pond.

The tree frogs are back in the wall vent as well.

Here is a picture of me at a beach in North Carolina doing what I enjoy most - searching around looking for interesting creatures! This is a whelk containing the biggest snail like creature I've ever seen!
