Spring update

The time sloips by and I have neglected this blog. The Resilience group continues. I now see 21 studentsin this group, which meets in two or three subgroups. Their problems remain. Some splintering of the group cohesiveness has occurred but all remain enthusiatic about continuing. I have agreed to return next year, One girlhas been beat up by her father and has obtain a restraining order. She is going to press charges against. Anotyher girl has been assaulted by a family membewr.

I published "A Peculiar Child's Verses of Garden" but again have not marketed it. The publisr omitted the s from Verses on the cover and refuses to change it. I have several pieces sitting unfinished on my computer. Perhaps this summer I will regain my muse. Finding jackson will be available shorted on Amazon Kindle. I rejoined facebook to let people know. Meanwhile the academic year winds down, I occupy myself with gardening. Joyce and I are laying six yards of mulch (not enough) and five yards of top soil. I continue to develop and co-opt the edge of the wooded area beside my house. No one has complained. Two Weigelia I tranplanted from the back have survived and are now blooming. I put in some forsythia for color.
Our April vacation to Charlottesville, Virginia and Ashvlle, N.C. was aborted just after we arrived in Charlottesville by the death of Joyce's father. Perhaps we will try again this summer.

Hopefully my next entry will come sooner than this one.
