As the Japanese saying (kind of) goes, "January runs, February runs away, March leaves" I find myself once again shaking my head at how quickly the past three months have flown.
Since catching up for that long is rather daunting, I figure, "Let's start with today."
So~~
Today I attended my first Pow-wow, hosted by The Three Rivers Community. Check out some pictures of this cultural & fun event!
The Grand Entry
This photo is of the men's traditional dance. I loved seeing multiple generations carrying on cultural heritage. The boy (maybe 6 years old) pictured below, was just darling!
There were women's performances as well, including a beautiful "Fancy Shawl" dance, but with the florescent lights in the big gymnasium, my pictures leave a lot to be desired...I also have a video that I'd like to add, but it's having problems loading now, so maybe another time.
Cheers to the next three months! :)

Welcome back to the blogging world! Has spring come to La Crescent yet?? It's beautiful here now, but with unpredictable weather swings just like Japan. Ah, seasons. :)
Two days ago, I went on a field trip to the south (approx. 85+ degs.). After a good amount of Chinese food and a bunch of little yellow tomatoes - I too was feeling the time fly bye. Things are just so different and ah! I've already be here year. As the Chinese would say, "go slow." Sarah, His peace
