Easter is behind us, and we are officially into Spring, as attested to by my blooming crocus. What a promise they bring of warmth and life to come!

Daily Writing Tips offers a wonderful Spelling Test here. I must admit I only scored a 90% the first time. My students would be scandalized, I'm sure!
