Good Morning and Happy Sunday! You would think from the birds singing outside and the sun shining behind the clouds that nothing in the world has changed, when it reality everything has. I have spent the past two days trying to process the court's decision on Friday, to get passed the sinking feeling in my stomach. So far it has not gone away. What did we do this week? Serra received three of the four new puzzle cubes that I purchased for her and has already conquered them. If I mix all seven of the cubes it takes her about forty-five minutes to unscramble them all going at a comfort pace. She has no interest in speed cubing as the...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's quiet this morning, the birds aren't even singing outside the window. Maybe they are enjoying the cooler temperatures like I am and staying snuggled in their nests a little bit longer. I found a neat little app called Merlin that is in essence Shazam for bird calls. While it is interesting to find out what kinds live around me I don't need to know their names to enjoy their company. What did we do this week? Serra conquered the octahedron puzzle cube that was giving her trouble. It rotates differently than standard Rubik's cubes and has triangle versus square blocks. She was a little intimated with it at first but persevered. Good thing I...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Feels like our short lived spring is over and summer is in full swing. My car said yesterday that it reached 100*, something I am not quite ready for. Maybe that's why I've been enjoying hockey in the evening seeing all of that ice. What did we do this week? Serra has recently conquered the 4 x 4 and 5 x 5 Rubik's cubes. She only started with puzzle cubes a few weeks ago and now loves them. The one that has given her a run for her money is an octahedron as its faces have triangles and it turns differently. Her fabric finally arrived for her sewing project and she is having a blast...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's quiet here in my little corner of the Fort. the sun is slowly creeping up into the sky and the owl that lives in the barn across the street just said "goodnight". Sleep has been elusive as I have been awake since three. Perhaps as a mortal I feel the need to make the most of all the time I can. What did we do this week? My attempts to make use of the Memorial Day Holiday for rest failed miserably as I could not relax on Monday. I suppose however that rest can mean many different things and finishing some projects was rest in its own way for me. Serra got a wild...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's cool and cloudy in my little corner of the Fort and I love it. Somehow we are having April's weather here at the end of May. I may be desert bred however I was not ready to jump into 90* every day just yet. I'll take this and the possibility of rain any day. It's good that the last weekend of May is a holiday weekend as it is one of the busiest months of the year. What did we do this week? Serra finished up her Sophomore year on Monday as that was the last day she had anything that needed to be finished or turned in. Now the trick is finding things...
