LINK to Friday's Fave Five Host Blog
1. My sister and her friend are safe in Texas. They were very cold, and not having electricity and heat for almost a week was difficult, but they did have a small generator, so were better off than most people.
2. A three-day weekend. Having a Monday off from school (this time it was President's Day) makes any weekend seem so vacation-like. All weekend long it's like "Oh yes, I don't have to go to work on Monday!"
3. Flowers delivered at school last Friday!! From Mike. A treat!
4. A lab that I did at school with a track that I did not know was available. It was originally built for an activity at a children's home, and was stored in a back storeroom. It was perfect to do experiments with motion and momentum with my 9th graders. Sometimes teaching physical science can be difficult because not many experiments can be done, but this was great.
5. Pine siskins have arrived at our feeders!! They are only around every few years, during an invasion, and they've been in our area for several weeks - but just last weekend came to our place. They are aggressive, and they will eat us out of birdseed house and home, but they are fun to watch.

Glad your sister is ok!! Thank the !ord for generators.
Love the bouquet!!
Ooh....my special needs preschoolers would love that track for our car scheme,
Enjoy the weekend!
My brother and sister-in-law are in Oregon and are on their ninth day without power from the ice storm that hit them. They are keeping their food safe with generators but don't have power for their well. I'm thankful that your sister and family are ok.
That's a great idea for your 9th graders' experiment.
And beautiful flowers!
I recognize that track! :-) Jim helped build one when we lived in GA. Nice that it works for your experiments now. The flowers are pretty, and what a thoughtful gesture. Yay for a Monday off! Glad your sister and her friend are ok.
What a gorgeous bouquet your hubby sent you! It certainly brightens up the grey type of month that February can be. Glad to hear your sister was safe. It is crazy what happened in Texas. Here we are built for that kind of weather and yet I can't imagine being without power and heat and groceries for a week.
