I’ve got my fold-flat packable UPF 50 hat and my clip-on sunnies. So ready for Spring Break… especially while working from home in the aftermath of an ice storm.

instagramming my daily life
Foggy February Downtown
It’s been an interesting weather week, swinging from near-record lows to near-record highs. That always makes for some awesome fog.
Connor’s First Stripe!
Connor earned his first stripe at Karate class on Saturday!

Connor says he likes karate kind of, except that it makes him tired. He’s definitely improving, both in physical strength and in mental focus. It’s hard, but he’s trying.
Maybe in a couple months he can join the Black Belt Club (i.e. the kids who want to keep progressing toward a black belt). Then he’ll get a wooden sword — which is really why he wants to be in BBC. 🙂
Constant Supervision
Mei was supervising as I worked from home during last week’s subzero weather.
Amaryllis Trentino
This is the first Trentino has bloomed, after being forgotten in the basement for a year and then properly potted for another year. She’s quite beautiful — I find I like the delicate and subtle green-to-pink shading more than the vibrant red of her big sisters Christmas Star (also currently in bloom) and Ragtime.
