Dallas got Makai a tough 300 piece puzzle.
We thought it would take several days or a week. He finished it in less than 24 hours.
We’re continuing to spend a lot of time outside on our new patio set. Love it. Our next investment needs to be a deck umbrella.
I really cannot understand these anti-mask people.
Makai liked all these “yellow flowers.” !!
I really like this tulip!!! I’d never seen a tulip with this coloring before! Makai and I have been taking so many walks and really getting to know our neighborhood in a way that we hadn’t over the last couple years. We’re starting to learn every house and every plant!
I don’t know why I got this ad sent to me, but this is for sure a “salad” I could get behind. There are so many ads for restaurants closed, doing curbside, doing delivery, whatever their policies are..
Pizza Hut is stressing taking breaks and offering Mental Health Recharge days. I definitely took advantage!
Makai is learning his kindergarten lessons easily. He’s ahead on some things. He could probably skip the whole rest of the year and still be ok. Yet, I’d been SO incredibly stressed out EVERY SINGLE DAY. I don’t know why seeing this in writing really helped my brain a lot.
In the middle of everything, we refinanced. It was strange, but really easy. The closing officer came to our door (mask and gloves) and handed us the papers to sign. She then went and sat in her car and if we had any questions, we texted. Then when we were done, she came back to the door and took the papers, went back to her car to review them.
When the 100 pc puzzle came, it was done at super speed. I have a couple 500 pc puzzles on order.
Taco Tuesday + Cinco de Mayo. Makai was BEYOND excited to have a homemade taco bar at home.
Cross stitching some Christmas ornaments.
Dallas made pork chops with mushroom gravy and rice.
Homework: What’s your favorite letter?
Sometimes it feels like freedom just to get in your car and drive for 5 minutes with the radio on and the windows down. Our car was dead in the garage for several weeks and maybe I didn’t realize that it was taking a psychological toll too. Junebug Cafe opened just before quarantine. I saw recently that they’re selling growlers of my favorite cold brew, Dark Matter’s Chocolate City, so I went and picked one up. I hope they survive this strange time. My craving for iced coffee has increased as we’ve had warmer days. It’s only 55 outside today but I managed to get sunburned while taking a call on the deck.
Math class.
Important work going on here.
I started talking about gardening on Friday and accidentally made Dallas give me my gift early because it was a gardening tool and tote set!
My Mother’s Day gift is 6 gardening tools, gloves, and a squirt bottle that all fit into this utility tote. So cool! I used it all day yesterday.
I shopped at Farmers Market Garden Center. They all wore masks and required customers to. It was easy to stay away from people in the lot. To get inside and browse and pay you needed to stand in a socially distanced line. They had a security guard to enforce it. He told me he used to work at nightclubs downtown and was just happy to have a job.
This was the gift I sent to Sara for her birthday!
