I made this little triangular cushion (and didn’t have time to stuff and finish the rectangular one) all by myself today, on a sewing machine. It was my first time using a sewing machine since Home Ec. in 6th grade.
brothers
They love to cuddle, but Ferrous’s expression looks like he’d rather Gandalf didn’t cuddle so much with his feet.
goliath beetle
That’s not just a description, that’s what this bug is called. It’s being held by an adult with normal size hands (as opposed to my tiny child hands). It’s really big.
you can’t stop time
Unless you’re Samuel L Jackson. Then time stops when you tell it to.
Ferrous is hiding
I guess he doesn’t realize that the same hole in the tunnel that he likes to poke his head through also makes visible whatever part of him is at the hole.
use your head
My parents always told me I’d get ahead someday…. guess they were right. Of course, I also needed a hand.
big cat little cat
Ferrous has also been enjoying the PBS series on big cats. (Photo taken on my tablet, which is why it’s a big grainy.)
fishy fishy fish
I got some takeout out a new ramen place today, and while I was waiting for my order, I sat at the sushi counter.
in return
A couple of weeks ago I posted a picture of all the wonderful drawings a company sent in response to my request for a drawing of a favorite animal. Well, my coworkers were happy to return the gesture, with drawings of our favorite snacks. I will put them in the mail later this week.
today’s the day
Voting always feels a bit anticlimactic. There’s all the debate and discussion and research who and what to vote for. This go ’round feels particularly essential. But in the end, in all of 5 minutes or os, we all go in and fill out our little ovals and nobody’s ovals count more than anyone else’s.
