It's quite unbelievable to think that winter has already come and gone as fast as it has. There are so many good things about the season of winter, that I cherish dearly, but there is really something extraordinary about spring. There is something special about the way everything becomes alive and rejuvenated, it is simply amazing to witness!
Before long, summer will roll back around again, hopefully bringing Gilbert Blythe home with it. I still have yet to receive his package of mystery in the mail. It is very unlike him to forget something, so perhaps he is just waiting for the perfect moment.
As I sit by the streaming waters, which are proving to be a great distraction for my wandering imagination, I am reviewing the writing exercises from the children's last work shop. Some are quite entertaining, while others clearly need extra work, yet a select few are simply... inspiring. I cannot think of any other word to describe it. Young minds are just incredibly rich with ideas! Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult for some to get those ideas flowing nicely on paper. I plan to bring this to the attention of Miss Stacy and Miss King the next chance I get. I really believe that these students need more than just a month of writing classes, they need to be engaged in it weekly... perhaps even daily, if my two superiors will take that into consideration. I won't make mention of it just yet, but it's something that has been bearing heavily on my mind.
I've lost track of all time. I'm not even quite sure how long I've been out here for, but I must get back home soon. I've promised Marilla to help her bake up a storm for the church's spring picnic coming up this Sunday. Baking still is not my strong suit, but the more I try, the more I will succeed! (Hopefully).
Here is to another new season in life, full of new dreams and horizons.
