Here are some random things I made note of today.

This is what the new school building looks like from the front. Lee's classroom is on the far right, third floor corner room. He gets a lot of sunshine streaming into his room in the morning. It's great light but it's hard to cool the room down. My room is on the far side of the building. By the time the sun starts shining into my windows it's the end of the school day.

There are garden plots tucked into unexpected places along my commute. This isn't a great photo but I wanted to show you what people do to protect their fruit trees. Each piece of fruit has a plastic bag rubber banded around it. I think it's to keep the bugs away but people I've asked have given me different answers. In any case it's odd to pass by farms and gardens and see trees that are apparently growing plastic bags.

Some more attractive looking trees are these beautiful yellow-flowered ones:

After school today Lee and I went for a bike ride along the bike path and found these in one of the parks along the way. I felt like it was Mother Nature's way of welcoming me back to the biking world.
