Bullets

I really *should* be starting dinner, but I needed to sit down for a few minutes...might as well multi-task the break, eh?

  • Last night I attended a program with a life coach that I really enjoyed. It is very interesting that a lot of the questions I posed in Tuesday's post were duplicated in the presentation. I think I have some answers, too, but that is definitely a longer post!
  • Today was the Earth Day field trip at Boy's school, so we spent the better part of the day tramping around the marsh, playing with cattails and milk vetch pods, and terrifying baby painted turtles. (Seriously, these guys were maybe the size of a silver dollar!)










    (Yes, I'm aware of the salmonella issue and we tried to limit the kids actually TOUCHING them. Hand sanitizer was used liberally before lunch.)

  • I dug out MORE grass in the front yard and now have a dry "stream" that winds through the garden, from the downspout to the sidewalk. *grins* It is my compromise to an actual water feature, and the illusion is further supported by the little bridge it runs under. This is the view from above...

  • Beloved hasn't killed me for the REST of the 14 tons of gravel that was delivered to the back. *sigh* I've been wanting and threatening to re-gravel the parking lot space for more than a year. Now I have the work of spreading it. Serves me right. (But I STILL believe it needed doing...even if *I* am the one doing...)
  • I got my hair cut! First real cut in almost three years. I don't have pictures yet...I haven't decided if I'm happy with it or not. It's layered with a side-part and bangs. I'll probably get pictures up tomorrow...maybe.
  • Tomorrow is the school's first CAMPOUT...as in sleeping in tents. The school owns 6 acres, so the few brave families are going to set up tents and do smores with the kids, hopefully get some sleep. Boy has volunteered Beloved to help with the pancake breakfast before campus clean-up on Saturday morning.

So...yeah...busy, busy, busy. And I've spent way too much time monkeying with the photos. Ha! Well, I figure something out for supper that's QUICK!
