Lis's Project 365

I found this pile of yarn in the resource room at work.  It reminded me of the Yip-Yip Muppets on Sesame Street.  So I stuck a couple googly eyes on it, like you do.

Elise came to work today, with some other furry friends, as part of the “De-Stress is Best” Fridays the HR department has been running this summer.   There was also yoga, snacks, and coloring books.  But the dogs were definitely the best part.

I know I’ve posted similar pictures before (but I think  mainly of robins), but I haven’t posted anything in over a week. So, better something than more nothing.

A few months ago, my boss applied for a grant from the maker of these plastic building bricks, and won it.  So we got $2500 worth of them.  That’s a lot of bricks.

I needed to buy chocolate today for cherry dipping and was intrigued by this bar made from the ruby cacao seed, which is naturally pink.  It’s definitely got a bit of a berry flavor to it, and I hope it enhances the cherries.

Typical corn vs corn with ADD

The kitties know they’re not supposed to be on the counter, so they’re smart enough to only do it when we’re not around.  But they are not smart enough to know that they leave footprints….

Otis is a screech owl who lives at the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center in Mystic CT.  Like  nearly all the birds who live there, he can’t be released into the wild, though I don’t remember his specific reason.  That said, one of the staff told us about the sharp-shinned hawk in the enclosure next door, who will be released later this week.  Good news!

When we arrived at the inn on Saturday, the innkeeper wrote down the WiFi password for us.  Just as she had done for many other people before….

We bought this hydrangea two years ago.  It didn’t really bloom last year, and while so far this year it’s only got two blooms, they are stunning.
