S’s corn has sprouted!
July 14
S wanted me to make a stuffed animal. I told him I didn’t have time to make a stuffed animal at the moment and suggested another time to work on the project. He countered that he could make the stuffed animal. After a moment’s hesitation, I agreed. He designed the creature, I adapted into a pattern and cut it out for him and then I taught him the rudiments of hand sewing. You can see the finished product, decorated, of course, with markers.

Another work of art by S. Notice the bold use of color– he’s really into markers right now. I can’t remember the exact story behind this piece, but I believe it has to do with superheroes battling a dragon.

We spent most of the day planting our first Square Foot Garden. Wish us luck for a successful harvest!

Another sight at Gunstock Ranch
On Wednesday night, I was back at the Ranch waiting for First Aid/CPR training. I noiced these three water jugs not quite together and took picture with my phone.

Cat at Gunstock Ranch
The boys started swim lessons this day. As I was sitting on the pool deck, waiting for the boys to finish, I noticed this cat sitting in the sun and decided to take a picture.

When I forget to take a picture during the day, S’s artwork always saves me. In this photo, R is a superhero, fighting bad guys with S as his sidekick. Believe it or not, this piece was inspired by a YouTube video on the HGTV Handmade Channel.
