My Bouquet

Thoughtfully picked by Viktor. When I asked him what we should do with it, he asked if it makes food. I said we don't usually eat this part of a dandelion. So, we examined the seed heads and the seeds.

Restaurant

Eddie had fun running a "restaurant" out of the kitchen today. He cut melon and bread, spread toppings on the bread, and poured drinks, as well as directing his restaurant staff consisting of a security chief and wait staff (who doubled as customers). Fun for all, and good practice in the kitchen. Eddie may be ready (interested) to do some real cooking for us soon.

Project evolution

I set out to document our morning reading, but ended up taking some "family" portraits. Don't those look like cozy nests?

Perhaps we don't always "finish what we start" around here, but we're always doing something.

Note also that E has discovered that sucking on his arm instead of his shirt will give him a hickey. I didn't use that name with him, but he decided that maybe he shouldn't do that, "at least not for so long".

Creation

While at the zoo, R noted that he prefers observation while E prefers creation.

Here is E with some of his creations, while he was describing the details to me. The description was a creation in itself.

Metal friends

At the zoo on Wednesday.
