This little one showed up on the neighbour's lawn this afternoon. I think he's living under their porch.

"Gotcha day" for Miss Ellie. Three years ago she came into our home and settled right in. Love her to bits.

Hard to believe three weeks ago there we had quarter sized hail decimate the garden. We didn't think anything would come back.
We were wrong.

Since I found myself (weirdly) at loose ends after finishing paper editing, I started rereading a classic. So good...

Well, it's done. Needs a copy edit and a proofread but that's job for the morning.
Tomorrow will be editing this paper, the first paper, and finalizing some course design for the practical part of the comps.
But for today...it's enough.

I won't get it done by today's self-imposed deadline. But a lot got done and the finish is far more clear now. Two sections, recreational and educational spaces, and a conclusion left. Disappointed, but not bummed.
Please enjoy an Ellie picture as a bookend to my tale. 😁
