The Walk of Words

The last couple of weeks have been a lot of uninteresting days, settling in and finding local stuff and trying to find the best mosquito sprays and basic bathroom cleaning products, and house sale logistics.

Warning: this post is quite the saga.

Summer wasn't quite over yet once we returned from the eclipse cruise, but we only had a week to pack everything up, finish what paperwork we could, and say our goodbyes.

Two years ago we saw a total eclipse in Ohio, our second totality and Teacup's first.

Visiting the Statue of Liberty was certainly on our list of things to do before we go.

I think I forgot to mention previously our trip to the Museum of Ice Cream in Manhattan, so I'm adding it here!

Since the end of the school year (and kindergarten graduation) and the beginning of Camp Mom, most of my time has gone to the efforts of moving and parenting (camp is forthcoming).

Oh, has it been 5 years already since I learned to code?

Today started with a Taiwanese black tea to smooth over a too-early morning, steeped twice, and progressed into a gentle pomelo oolong to ease a brewing headache.

It's been a while since my last post, hasn't it?

After checking my Google album, I realized I had collected over 1000 flower pictures for my #floweraday posts on G+.

I thought it was long past time to add a new tidbit.

It was a busy weekend, a good weekend, a fun weekend.

Publishing news will be late (probably Monday) due to a preponderance of things to do.

A dragon's perfect morning.

It almost looks like an impressive pile... until you realize that's the window sill and get a sense of scale.

Scene break transitions are portals to a new scene, but if you don't see the door, how do you know you're in a new room?

How many of you celebrated pi day last week, on March 14?

Chances are, if you're in a country that observes Daylight Saving Time, you're groggy this morning.
