Learned in February

I’ve been pronouncing the word “debacle” wrong. My husband gleefully pointed it out to me, and I’m trying to change.
I tried cross country skiing for the first time on a very flat lake. It went alright, and I actually didn’t fall at all. I can see the appeal of the activity, but I would definitely need some practice to be able to swish through the snow. I don’t think I’d ever get very fast at it, but I do think it would be a great way to enjoy the forest in the winter.
Traditional basket snowshoes are crazy slippery. Good grief.
Good news! Having someone come to sand and refinish your hardwood floors does not create anywhere near the amount of dust I was prepared for.
I saw a pilea plant at the COOP grocery store and did a little reading about it, learning how to care for it and about this houseplant’s history as a houseplant, but by the time I got back to the grocery store to purchase a pilea of my very own, they had disappeared to other homes.
At the Piano I learned a Three Part Invention by J. S. Bach and a Scarlatti Sonata, fitting pieces for someone who has been a bit swamped and has had limited practice time over the past few weeks.
I have learned so much about deaf culture from The Banana’s history day project which she will be finishing this week.
