scenes from the weekend

<span class=

We try to leave notes for the fellas when we run away from home.
I haven't quite gotten the knack of shooting the Big Board in my new, darker, dining room.

counter

I polished the counters.
I don't know the French for 1/2.

<span class=

Berries are in season - and out of focus.

breakfast

We got a couple of them out of bed for breakfast on Sunday morning.

Elixir of life.

Don't know why I tend to shoot on an angle like this. K was soldering.

flowers

The puzzle was the hardest one I've ever tried.
I spoke too soon.
Isn't that just the way?

That was a very nice slice of your life. And now I too want blueberry pancakes.
I like your chalkboard.

Thanks for the pics. There is something very elegant about you/your house/your life.

I think the french for 1/2 is:
"la moitie" or possibly "demi." Google translator says the french translation of "half a cup" is "une demi-tasse."

re the blackboard. The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. So if you are standing in front of it, the flash will reflect right back into the lens. shoot it from a 45º angle and the flash will reflect at a 45º angle away from the lens.

Wow, I wasn't expecting two science lessons! The Beach sign made me think of my daughter at 3 years old. She asked to go somewhere special, and I said, "We can only go if you promise to behave." She replied, "I AM being hayve!"

And there I was thinking 'sheesh, Blackbird just leaves her adult toys lying around the house? They're so progressive.'

Our Sunday paper had the NYT puzzle titled "Full Circle".
It was the easiest one I've ever done. I wonder if our paper gets the Sunday puzzle after it appears in the NYT.

I am also in the "don't like pancakes" club. If those berries were on top of waffles, I'd be all over that.

I'm in the pancakes club. In fact, I might even be its president.

Your weekend life IS nice.

When you want "half" as an adjective, it's demi. As a noun, it's moitié.

Wanna know an awesome trick? Use WD-40 to clean/renew your blackboard.

It will make blackbird's blackboard blacker.
