The Silver Creek kids were the best prepared for the first aid class of any class we've taught. They're very bright and they had previous instruction in their health class. Each offered stories to illustrate the points Steve was making, but the best was Lily's story. It was the first day of cross country camp and the team was out running in the forest when one of the girls fell and cut open her knee. The flap wound was bleeding profusely and they were far from camp. An older girl whipped off her shirt and used it to put pressure on the wound.
While Steve was at yet another meeting, I finished arranging all the new table groups and made new attendance placards for class tomorrow. That's the last obligation between us and vacation.
Although it's supposed to snow over the next few days, it won't stick for long, but mountains remain all over town. The last bits in our yard are piled over my hydrangeas in the back deck garden and in the new redbud garden. This is the redbud's first spring and I can't wait to see the lovely pink blossoms.
