Waahh

My Salvia Chiapensis appears to have bitten the dust due to the cold snap. I hope it will come back in the spring. The pride of Madeira still looks terrible too. The ruellia doesn't look to great either. Other things seem to have survived, more or less.

Supposedly it is warming up. It got to 60 yesterday and we went to the park and played a little soccer and basketball with some friends.

Apparently the youngest professional skateboarder in the country lives around the corner from us. I had read about him in the NY Times Magazine, and had walked by his half-pipe which takes up their entire back yard (they live on the corner of Drexel and Cypress so you can see the half-pipe over the top of the fence as you walk down Drexel), but didn't realize that was where he lived until my neighbor told me.

Owen's in the Montessori program and this year it is the 100th anniversary of Montessori, so they are having a pageant on Tuesday night. He gets to sing, say some lines and help hold the giant bead chain. Bead chains are a Montessori thing (they use them for math) so they made a giant one out of paper mache.
