mother's day (131/365d)

they let me sleep quite late, since they were out in the tent their second night. - that was very generous of them, since, apparently, they were awakened at 5am by somebody throwing their glass recycling into the containers across the street. this is how i found them at 9:30am....

discovering how to do 3d "magic eye"

the food was yummy today!
we made the world's prettiest sushi, and it was quite tasty too!

with vegan "lox" made from salt roasted carrots
and with purple rice
and fresh asparagus from the garden
(and cucumber from the spar)

i made masks till i was ready to cry, using old handkerchiefs that belonged to omama and opapa.

retro tools put to modern use

while i sewed brian started our next family read-aloud project: the jungle book. at first, the younger set was uninterested in even starting, but by the end of the first chapter they were hooked.
with 10 masks finished, i declared myself finished, and i took a reading break while brian took the three on a 6k bike ride while he ran.

then we made ourselves a mother's day concert, although it was rather late.

i had bread to bake, so brian and i start a read-aloud project of our own... tristram shandy
