How is it? You give a dog a bath, immediately, the next day, they find a random mud secretion, dig, and therefore need another bath. The joy of puppyhood!
Day 227: Muddy Dog
Month: August 2020
Day 226: The Boy Eats Nachos!
Right after his dad’s own heart (not his mom’s!). Still a wonder 32 years in — why I don’t enjoy cheese!
Day 225: Orientation Week!
The level of exhausting was…well…ermmmm…Nick found me under blankets on the couch by 6 ok because Zoom fatigue is real!
Day 224: Fish that also like bread
Is wonderful because you go to the pond to feed the ducks who are full. But not the fish! (Impossible to see?)
Day 223: Book Giveaway!
I’m very late on posting my mid-August wonders because it’s been hectic. Lesson planning for online teaching (technical writing), leading orientation for the Writing Center, planning events for the Creative Writers. But I did something fun with some other writers and hosted a 7 day giveaway! I gave away Wild Game. 😘
Day 222: Happy Birthday to my nephew!
Liam had a scavenger hunt on his birthday morning. #4! How wonderful is that? In this box was a big LEGO set!! Still finding wonder amongst birthday parties, amidst the pandemic and all.
Day 221: Caught a Frog!
In the *bug house* —- then immediately let it go. It was scared, we could tell.
Day 220: Crockpot Shredded Chicken
This may seem like a low brow wonder. But dang, is it not wonderful when an impromptu recipe tastes divine? This was chicken thighs with purple onion, pineapple (and the juice from a can), rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, dash of olive oil, splash of soy sauce, drizzle of BBQ sauce, spices, and who knows what else? Take the chicken out when it is done. Then thicken the sauce in the crockpot with corn starch. Serve with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli!
Day 219: Subconscious Planning
…complete
Found this written in my planner that I wrote from the Before Times. Completed a full draft at least a month before my own deadline!
Day 218: Catching a Frog!
We let it go! But it was so cool. Bennett loved every second!
