Spring mid-terms


Halfway through the Spring semester! Only 3 1/2 months to go till graduation!

This semester has been busy with Comprehensive Nursing, Maternal Newborn Nursing (my favorite class!) and Anatomy & Physiology 2. The current clinical rotation is at the hospital here in Creston and it is going well.

Jessie has settled in well and made many new friends already. It is a joy to have her around. We are looking forward to a visit from Zach at the end of the month.

Signs of spring have been popping up here and there. The tulips and daffodils have pushed up through the dark soil and the pussy willow is covered in silver catkins. Earlier this week, Jessie and I saw an enormous flock of snow geese and have also seen many robins, redwing blackbirds and meadow larks that were absent a couple weeks ago. Looking forward to the greening of the landscape. Spring here in Iowa is beautiful.

I've been painting a little more in my spare time. You can see my paintings at the LPBoniStudio link on the right hand side of this page.

Grace and peace to all!
