Happy Friday! Sometimes don’t you wish you could pluck the moon and sun from the sky, put them into a container and take them out only when you need them? As I typed that it dawned on me that we use celestial movements as markers of the passage of time, but they aren’t time itself. I need a refresher course in the fourth dimension. The power to stop time…maybe in the future someone will figure out how to make it into an app.

K: Look Mama! The froggies are breeding — that means they’re making babies. Just like you and Daddy did!*
*We finally had a successful discussion about the birds and the bees. As predicted, I was at my awkwardest, and she was completely grossed out.

Cute sock softies time
Have a wonderful weekend all!
The simple beauty of your painting touches my heart! Have a good weekend my friend.
Thank you, Ute! Wishing you the same!
My oldest, Josh, got a nighttime telescope for his birthday. Last night I saw craters on the moon through it. It was so cool!
Oh, K wants a telescope too – now I’m tempted to get her one so that I can see moon craters 🙂 Thank you, Kristi!
and much to my dismay, that passage of time phenomena seems to go by faster and faster as the years pass by! So yes – would very much like to put them away for awhile to slow things down:)
clever K – though your discussion may have been awkward, it clearly was informative:)
Time is on hyperspeed mode!! The talk was very helpful, I think. 🙂 She hasn’t been asking quite as many questions, and the book has come in handy. In fact, a friend asked to borrow it for her own daughter!
Heard this interview on KQED: http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201501021000
And now want to read the book: http://www.indiebound.org/book/9781623363420
I’m scared!!
Totally not helpful, I know 🙂 It’ll be me soon enough.
Such a coincidence – I was just talking about how quickly our girls seem to be growing up and developing with some friends. Thanks for the interview link and the book info, Alana – I want to delve in!!
