A new day...

It's funny how, in this crazy world, there are moments that are so beautiful and clear and nearly dazzeling to the eye. It's like they are sandwiched inbetween the ugliness of so much war and distruction by unnatural nature.

Today was an art day. The kids came over and made pinwheels, and used woodcraving tools for linoleum cut-outs only one carved his hand too (ugh). As Jon likes to say, there needs to be a sacrifice to the Repair Gods. Only in this case, it was the Art Gods. Next time, we'll wear very thick gloves and have butterfly bandages on hand (the kid actually knew which bandage works the best...apparently from lots of practice...sigh).

After I calmed down and didn't faint (fortunately) things were all right and the regaled me with stories of shark attacks and bears and some how we were talking about mamoths and cave hunts. It's interesting to hear kids at this age talk.

My daughter was doing heavy metal art work (she likes to swing her head around when she really gets into drawing...I guess she's got some story in her mind that has lots of action). They are so interesting to watch.

Then Norrie had a break down...lots of people excite her and she got tired and insulted because I wanted her to wear a baby leash on her hand. She acted like she was an animal in a trap. We never made it beyond one block for our walk. Sigh...

The day is sunny, warm and just what you want for a fall day. The little I got to see was refreshing.

We may go to the zoo this weekend...this would be relaxing...sort of.
