i'm over with perennials, for now

perennial plants test is over! yehey! i feel relieved to finally go through our last test for this course. passing the test is another thing, though. i'm skipping school today, so i won't get my testpaper back until after Easter. 

so, aside from "studying" perennials, i have been enjoying school for the past days. the day before yesterday (11.4), we did some oak tree maintenance along the school's driveway. we used a pair of japanese trimming shears and some ordinary ones, small saw and clippers. there were only five of us in the group, so we had more chance to learn and practice. 

12.4. we practiced using a small Kobelco digging machine and Giant, too in moving some rocks, compost and gravel. i was surprised that i actually enjoyed using the digging machine. it was like playing a computer game!
