Admiring the weather in between classes.

12MP digital camera with f/1.8 aperture. Front-facing camera 7MP with f/2.2 aperture.
Obtained in January 2022 as a replacement for the iPhone 7. This was my main camera for almost two years, until I upgraded to an iPhone 12 Pro in November 2023.
Twitter Update: Black Belt Training
We passed the initial Curriculum Evaluation and are continuing with our formal Black Belt training! 🥋
Now that we really understand the level of effort and intensity that’s required, we’ll be better prepared for the upcoming boot camp days and future testing. We’ve got this!
White-Flowered Four O’Clock
I bought seeds for this Mirabilis jalapa ‘Alba’ (White-Flowered Four-o’Clock) from Hayefield last January.
It’s technically an annual in Zone 6, but freely reseeds itself (as evidenced by its presence in my garden this year).
Fifth Grader
Today was Connor’s stagger-start day, where half of his class was in attendance. Tomorrow, the other half will have their staggered start, then Wednesday will be the first full day for all fifth-graders.
Chillin’
It’s that hour between Connor’s karate class and my Krav Maga class, and we’re both taking advantage of the weather to sit outside at the picnic tables.
We’re pretty chill. Watching the other adults start to show up for the class that begins in about 15 minutes. We can hear the Beginner Youth class every time someone opens the door. We try not to chuckle too loudly at the little kids playing pretend with their parents while their siblings are finishing up their class.
I always have this idea that I’ll bring my Bluetooth keyboard and “catch up” on my blogging in that hour between Connor’s class and mine… after I finish the day’s Spanish lesson on Duolingo… and after I scroll through my Facebook feed for a few minutes… and sometimes (though not today) after talking to Mr. Turner for a while.
It’s probably about time for me to hit Publish on this, so I can go inside and get ready for class. I know I’ll enjoy it… but, in this moment, I’d almost rather just stay outside and enjoy the weather.
