One of the things Nia was most excited about for starting her public, online school was that they would let her take French as a foreign language. After we brought Hyrum home, Nia spent a day at a school fair a few hours away representing the French club. She painted various faces using French-inspired designs. Her drawings are below the fold. Joy: "Her teacher flew all the way from Chicago to go to that fair, and brought French cookies from France! She had a real blast."
By happy accident, just before we found a beret at WalMart on clearance for $1, and she has been wearing it proudly with great regularity.
During the winter she got some bulbs from a lady at church, which she planted with great eagerness. She feared for their safety during the winter freeze, but they all survived. One has even started flowering - about one new flower every couple days. It blooms for a day, shrinks, and then something eats it. We appreciate that whatever it is doesn't seem to eat the flower until after it has blossomed.
