We forgot it’s already winter in Michigan!

This story book is really on my mind today. It’s so scary that things can be fine then absolute terror especially from a child’s perspective.
Child’s book about a child wondering why their home is being bombed in an unspoken war. Picture of one page with a girl with pigtails with her head in the desk with knocked over chairs and school supplies. In the other page is an explosion. Part of a display of migrants and refugees on the move at the National Building Museum.

Fun to see one of two giant Christmas trees in DC!

When you see construction debris in a foreign land—you have to post about it. That’s the rule and what I’ll do!

Enjoying some time in Barcelona! Anything happening in America? No right?!?

Some flowers tucked between an alley, a fence and a basketball court. It’s amazing how nature finds a way to keep on being fabulous even when surrounded by concrete!

The WSJ is confirming what I’ve always said about my alma mater: “Ball State is the Harvard of Muncie, Indiana.”
A description of a WSJ story on the “Elite College Myth” for panicky parents and eventual success. Schools mentioned include Ithaca, OSU, UCLA, Duke. Ball State, LSU, Harvard, and University of Texas Austin.

Enjoyed being at the DC park that was subject to a years long campaign to save it before it was built or historic structures open to the public.
Looking down a brick street flanked by parked cars on right and historic water filtration towers. Two girls playing in the sand under shade A sign with a graphic of how the historic filtration system worked. Water would be pumped in to chamber and water would filter through a layer of sand and gravel. Dangerous bacteria and parasites would be filtered out at the top layer. Water would then flow into the city’s water pipes. Looking into a water filtration chamber. A fence blocks the entrance.

It’s nice reading the plaque of my daughter’s school namesake.
Image and inscription of Catharine Watkins (1866-1948). "The Nation is awakening to the truth that since education is life, as well as a preparation for life, that we can no longer separate the two; that we cannot train the children in the schoolroom to be passive instruments in the hand of the teacher and then expect them to become efficient members of society, purposeful, social, independent, self-reliant, and self-controlled. These are the qualities which our democracy demands and they must, therefore, have a chance to grow in our American schoolrooms," Ms. Watkins declared in 1920. A kindergarten pioneer who was also Washington, D.C.'s first-ever director of kindergartens, Ms. Watkins worked to make sure classrooms for the youngest students strived towards those idealistic goals. Watkins Elementary, built in 1961, is named for her.

Quintessential DC—where if there’s a swing your kid will use it further delaying getting home.
A tree lined street in Washington, DC. If you zoom in there’s a kid riding a neighborhood swing with an unattended bike!

@dcwater.bsky.social do you have any pipes under Kingsman Field? There’s a permanent wet spot near D Street NE that could be a leaky pipe or a broken drainage system. @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social
