I realized this morning that when my cat paws at the bedsheet, he’s not trying to climb under the covers and snuggle with me.
Nope, he’s trying to pull down the sheet so I’ll get out of bed.

Status: Combing My Son’s Hair
Yet another unexpected parenting moment: explaining to my pre-teen son how to wash his shoulder-length hair in the shower without getting it tangled.
Yes, son, I had hair much longer than yours for the first 30-plus years of my life. I know a thing or two about hair care. 🤣
Fragrant
I cooked with Ethiopian spices for the first time yesterday. This morning, my kitchen still smells exotic and delicious.
Status: Annoyed
Today’s reminder to double-check all the things: While machine-darning my husband’s shorts, I sewed the pocket lining to the leg. Real good, too, I might add. My only option was to cut the pocket away from the darning, which made for another hole to mend.
Deer Sighting
Deer sighting in my back yard! Mama and four adolescents, for a total of FIVE deer in my yard just now. At least one of the kiddos had cute little antler nubs.
They ate some weeds, munched on the yew a little, and sampled the grape hyacinths before Mama saw us watching and sauntered away from the house.
