Lis's Project 365

The Bean down jacket has been put away for the season. Now if only I could put away all my other cold-weather clothing…

This is a kotatsu. It has a metal grate on the underside of the table which heats up when plugged in.  Add a blanket tucked in under the top surface of the table and you’ve got yourself a cozy place to sit.  When the blanket is put away, you know the warm weather is on its way.

bring broken umbrellas with fed-up owners.

the blue Siberian squills usually come up earlier in the season, but we think we may have buried them too deep. either way, they look lovely next to the daffodils.

The theme this week is Signs of Spring.

This is the neighbor kid on one side playing with the dog that lives on the other side. He doesn’t have his own dog, but he plays with this one all the time when the weather’s nice. They’d been at it for quite a while when I snapped them taking a much-needed rest before they were off and running again.

yes it is.

yep, I still do it the old-fashioned way…with a pen and a paper calendar.

There’s a little theater at work where short kid-friendly plays are performed. For many kids it’s their first live theater experience, so it’s important that it includes everything you would expect, including tickets.

The thing I like about this timetable is that even though it’s digital, it still makes the tik-tik-tik noise when the schedule updates.

remember circle time? the teacher reads a story, followed by deep analysis of said story and open discussion of whatever is important to a group of 5 year olds. those were the days.
