Mary & I spend the morning in the woods. We watch the season slowly change. She is incredibly observant about plants and animals; I can bounce ideas off her and depend on her judgement.
It's also something of a routine to bring -- in addition to a nature guide -- one of those free local papers, Buy & Sell. It gives you a pulse on the community. We read the funny and odd things aloud, recognize names, etc.
In the evening I walk by myself, collect seeds. The days have grown hot - 100 - and the humidity is non-existent - 15%.
Monday
Already forgotten.
A single photo reminds that we spotted our stray cat's nemesis through the wiindow.
Tuesday
Before it gets too hot, I go butterfly hunting. At least this year, butterflies peak as Summer ends.
Mary watches Phantom of the Opera alone; boys can't stand it.
Wednesday
X-Country meet cancelled "due to ozone" (read, hundred degree weather).
Mary needs a newspaper for school assignment, so we drive to town and do some grocery shopping, have fun.
Evening walk alone.
Believe I see a kestrel silhouetted against the sky.
Evening movie: Strictly Ballroom
And don't forget our school pictures, haha!
