My 7yo was excited to show me that she completed her homework all by herself. She said she looked up quotes on her tablet and this was her favorite.

Do I tell her it’s falsely attributed or naw just roll with it?

I’m number 1! 😝
First in the pickup line at school. I usually hover around top 10. I owe the endurance to make this happen to audiobooks.

Today:
Stephen King’s “The Long Walk”.

Can not shut off my brain so I’m playing with some of my frog pictures. My profile pic blocks poor grumpy toad on the banner. 🐸

Refresh your brain.
Go outside and play whenever possible.

Oh how cool! We were trying to listen in this morning, but there was a lot of noise in the neighborhood. This will be fun to share with my 7yo after school.

Good morning! ☀️

This cracked me up when I read it. Out of context it's even funnier. 😆

This is the time of year we see Spiny orb weavers in our yard. I love the variety of colors and their amazing webs. Beautiful and fascinating to watch. 💜

Stress baking. 😣
Anyone hungry?

Banana bread next…

Ooooo… and some big fat cinnamon rolls for my daughter.

My daughter is 7yo and always asking me how different things were in the 1900s. 😆

I'm listening to "The Line Between" by Tosca Lee while doing housework.

This book would make a great drinking game.

Whenever "Iowa" is mentioned, take a sip.
Whenever the name of a city in Iowa is mentioned - sip.
Whenever "Pig" is mentioned, take a shot.

Salud.

The test didn’t come as a Kit? Here are a couple of ideas. Good luck. 😬

Evicted this beautiful #treefrog from the sunroom last night.

Our yard used to be hopping critters. The past couple of years there has been a sharp decline in numbers. 😔
