I just rescued this beautiful creature from a (fortunately almost empty) watering can. Waiting for its wings to dry, I hope it can fly away soon 😍

The kiddo has been playing a bit of Blue Prince. His understanding of it is that when you’re out of doors to open, it’s the End of the World (we’ve played lots of The Outer Wilds recently). And apparently the game’s goal is to reach it as quickly as possible

On the hill behind our house lies a forgotten stuffed bear, half-buried in the moss. It’s always been part of the landscape, and we’ve decided to leave it there.

We’ve now started Riven, which features some kind of monorail. Hours of fun!!
(In his head canon this is the same monorail as the one in Talos 2, another favourite)
