My musings on our homeschool, coop, figuring out what my educational philosophy is anyway, and will I ever make curtains for the rest of the appartment?
We took a Physically distanced walk at the reservoir, wearing our facemasks. It was the first time Dan had off from work when it wasn’t pouring down rain. Before the parking permit accord with the local families, Dan and Ben Continue reading Walk at Reservoir (during Covid 19 Pandemic)
We have a new to us Dodge Grand Caravan. While it is orange, it’s a subtle orange. It’s not orange enough to make it easy to find in a parking lot, but it was orange enough to lower the price Continue reading A week of Birthdays, our new car and a shrub that bloom in the snow
Mechanic’s Pond is quite low right now. I’ve been interested this month in the growth patterns of the leaves, how are the oaks and maples arranged? Do the smaller leaves go on the ends of branches or back up the Continue reading Soaking in the June Sun, by the pond where it’s not hot.

While we were at Rhinebeck, the APL held it’s book sale, and K bought some jig saw puzzles. Since I wasn’t home to use my sewing desk (and I almost never use my sewing desk during the school year, so Continue reading Puzzles and Cake
