April

What a fun month! Spring is finally upon us, and despite a couple of late freezes our strawberries are doing quite well! More about that later.

C has been going around the house singing a very recognizable form of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" as well as counting to five and singing a fairly massacred version of the alphabet.

Our first handful of strawberries came in, and in May I expect we'll get more than we can possibly eat. We're hoping to sell a few to make up for the expense of purchasing and irrigating them.

We had to cover them up one weekend to keep the last freeze from doing any damage.

But I am happy to report that they suffered the cold with no problems.

I got to travel to Montreal to PyCon. Next year, if I get to go again, I hope to take the entire family along. It's certainly a beautiful city.

Lastly, we adopted this little guy. We're currently reading "Charlotte's Web" to J, so when we asked for name suggestions, she gave "Wilbur." Seemed appropriate for a pug.

He is 8 months old, and was adopted from a "semi-retired" couple that wanted him to go to a more active family.
