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!!
