Spring Flowers

Well, the cherry trees were blooming and then the azalea bushes.  It got really cold over the weekend...down to 2 degrees C.  The new school year started for the three of us.  Januck is teaching 6th grade again, I am teaching 4th again and Alex is now a Junior. Rachel leaves next month to work at a Christian camp in WI for seven weeks before going off to college in MI in August.  We had a school hike and it ended at the Mishima Shrine.  Just wanted to post some photos for all to see.
