I've got a backlog of photos I want to post - because I like to keep stuff here, if for no other reason.
This is a portrait of me that Nugget drew last week. Apparently it is usual for her age group (recently turned 4) to have the arms and legs coming directly out of the head. Kind of makes me wonder - I know she's very aware that people have torsos (she comments on my big boobies and belly often enough!), so why do they leave it out? Is it that arms and legs and heads are so much more important? I thought it was interesting that she very carefully drew in the fingers and toes.
This is the dandelions in my city house front yard last month. I dragged out the vacuum cleaner and sucked up as much of the seed heads as I could, because I knew if the mower-kid mowed that mess, dandelions would take over the entire neighborhood. Then I spread a weed killer/fertilizer mix. It looks a little better now.
This is one of the five daffodil beds at the country house, this past spring. Late April, I think. There are several varieties in there. This is looking up from the end of the driveway toward the house, which is beyond the brow of the hill.
This is a bit of the side yard at the country house. Pretty, isn't it? I hate to give it up.
Snake! He's coming down from inside the exterior siding near the front door of the country house. I think each of those tiles is 6" square (the photo angle makes them look rectangular, but they are square), so if you straighten him out, that makes him about 36" long! At his thickest middle, he was an inch and a half wide. They can get up to almost 4 feet long, but I'd never seen one before as big as this one.
I had some Lincoln Logs here for a while, waiting for the Nugget to get old enough to be interested. We got them out the other day. Her Daddy built the section of barn to the right. Nugget built the section to the left. So far, there's no evidence of a budding architect.
Nugget's nursery school has special days, like "silly hat day", "pajama day", "funny hair day", and so on. The next four photos are from two "funny hair" days (I wonder what boys do for funny hair....). Daughter was very creative.
(Mouth full of peaches.)
Side view.
Another funny hair day. She had been watching Sesame Street on TV when "the pee-pee urge" hit. I came around the corner and found this. Usually she uses a ring that fits in the seat of the grown-up toilet, but she didn't want to miss any of the show, so she dug out her baby potty and set up shop in front of the TV.
My lava lamp. Sometimes when it's warming up, things get interesting.

a desirable condition, the further left he or she will be on the ideological spectrum.
The more a person considers inequality to be unavoidable or even desirable,
the further to the right he or she will be.

I think it makes sense to stick arms out of the head. Four of the five senses are in the head, so it seems touch should be there too.
