April Showers Bring May Flowers…

And indeed, the flowers seem to have sprung up overnight here at the manor!  I can’t remember seeing many buds, but already the trees are raining down little pink and white buds, and the grass is green and almost as soft as a newborn lamb.  Speaking of lambs, I’ve seen many of them in the fields when I go for walks.  Just the other day, Tess and I were out on a stroll and stopped to talk to a boy tending to some sheep.  He said that they had birthed over eight lambs in one week! 

Chantel has gone away for a few weeks to visit friends and family, and we are all praying she’ll have safe travels.  In the mean time, some of us girls are participating in a secret letter exchange (which Chantel is heading up).  We have plenty of time, I think, to finish writing our secret letters.  The whole business adds an air of mystery to the Manor!

Let’s see…we’ve been having good discussion around the dinner table about different issues.  I dare say, if some of our girls were men, they would make wonderful politicians or lawyers!  Some of them do love to get into debates over different topics.  I do enjoy a good debate every so often, but sometimes I do take them too seriously.  I’m just glad we have peacemakers who help cool me down.

Rissa, Abby, Grace, and Jacinta are all becoming more and more eager for their week away.  It shall be a nice break for them, and in the mean time, the rest of us can have some fun of our own at the Manor. *mischevious*

I can’t seem to think of much else to say, as things have been rather quiet of late.  I should go now and do some more of my studies…I’m to send one of my papers to my parents this spring.  I simply cannot wait until summer is here!
