I see you!

These knarly old binoculars sit on my desk so I can see where the kids are when they're in the bottom field...and check for fires when we see smoke in the fire season...they're not exactly great but they're nice and small so I kinda like 'em.

Back to school today after yesterday's day off - seemed like a long day, we were not in the mood and it was a hard slog - no one seems to be inspired by stories of Pioneers (including me) yawn.

Tomorrow we are going to build a model of the water cycle in a jar so maybe I will blip it. Sounds like fun. While I was looking for something on the subject I found some interesting info. on how our drinking water is cleaned (or not in the case of our local water system) and how to save water - a good topic for us as we got our Stage 3 Drought Restriction Notice today - boooo...someone do a rain dance pleeeaaase ;0)
