    The annual Lion’s Club Fair presented classic rides and chances for Google to do some fun things with photos. Such as glue two shots from the ferris wheel together. And of course, some photographer fun.. like using the “long exposure” setting on an otherwise innocuous ride.

    Not quite a ‘graduation’ but the ‘moving on ceremony’ for the CT Douglas School happened 2 days before the last day of school. Don’t ask me why. It was followed by a grand ‘reception’ in one of the gyms, with some of the year’s projects on display. One of which was a massive catalog of…

    Noah’s 6th grade year wrapped up with some non school days, so he celebrated .. in style? And heads off to junior high next school year. I still am perplexed at K-6 as a school but what do I know. Like why did I ask “why are you wearing all that?”..

    Last year, I had an arborist out to visit to help understand what on Earth falls out of the mongo oak trees over the driveway. Every Spring and Summer for several years, the trees produce a never ending rain of.. crap. Sappy droplets that don’t wash off your windshield, and later, a steady rain of…

    There’s a small shrubby plant on the side yard that has these nice flowers in the late spring. I can never figure out quite what it is. I think based on this year’s research, it is a “mock orange”. I’m not confident though, as they are supposed to have 4 petals and these are 6.…

    This Sunday was spent two ways. In the morning, Willy had soccer in the pouring rain – and they won! It was the 3rd of 4 games in one weekend. Here’s Willy pressuring the goalie. Afternoon, Noah had a swim qualifier at Regis College – which went on long enough that it was a beautiful…

    First, rice sometimes leaves a mark – some kinda chemical somethingorother going on I guess? Next, the basketball hoop’s shadow. Kind of has a 3D effect.. Ok, there was more to the day than some artsy angles. Willy’s soccer season was wrapping up this weekend, and of late, an annual ritual has been a pool…

    After the first few berries were spotted, we added some protection, to keep them off the soil (assuming this would keep them from rotting / being consumed). Many strawberries were found as we placed the protective layers down – really a cool gardening project so far. Noah harvested a bunch, and we decided to grab…
