The Stonecutter

If you have a couple minutes and want to make the day for 10 fourth-graders, have a listen to their recording of The Stonecutter, an adaptation of a Japanese folktale. They narrate this touching tale about a Japanese Stonecutter who seems to always want to be somebody else. There's music, sound effects, and even body percussion!

No sign of spring out there yet, but there was this lovely seed pod. Clematis?

Too cold for outdoor photography, so here's a watercolor I've been working on instead.
