Day 45 - Chemistry is Cool!

I told kids that lab clothing was REQUIRED because this lab presented what I like to call the "triple threat". . .chemicals, glass and FIRE!  The kids loved it especially when the chemicals produced smoke like this one.

Day 44 - Battle for the Bed

Poor Grady is obviously trying to salvage part of his Value Village bedspread "bed" on which to sleep.  That damn cat is hogging all the covers!

Day 42 - Moonrise

The days are getting shorter and shorter.  After arriving home from work, I quickly changed and headed out into the yard to chip away at the weeds that seem to have sprung up overnight.  As it started to get dark, I looked up in time to catch a soft, pastel moonrise.

Day 42 - Fall Has Arrived

The colors and shapes of fall caught my eye during a quick stop at the grocery store today.

Day 41 - How Does This Happen?

Guess it's that time of year when you don't know whether to put your summer things away or wait just a bit longer and hope for a few more warm, sunny days.  It will take me the whole day to get this much laundry done. . .I clearly waited too long.

Day 40 - Along the Snohomish

A bit of fall color from some grasses along the Snohomish River. . .

Day 39 - Morning Routine

I take Grady for a short walk every morning between 4:45 and 5:15 AM.  Needless to say, it's dark. We see very few, if any, people at that time.  When we do, he watches them so intently that I'm sure it scares the hell out of them which is just fine by me.
