Next gen art

 I was sick enough this morning to cause me to take a covid test. Counting on that negative to be fact because I have stuff to do.


Charlie's school had a digital learning day today. As if all of the second grade wasn't enough. Five hours in a semi-darkened room at the laptop. Fifteen-minute assignments drag on past an hour because he hunts and pecks. 


The worst out of the way, I found a Learn To Type for Kids game and left him to it. He's delighted that his fingers have brains. What bothers me is that he'll never learn cursive. I will teach him his signature. With my favorite fountain pen. Eventually.

It was really fine out today. After the traditional lunch trip to Sonic, we hatched out the dirty threads. The Cassiels.  The reluctant angel from Wings of Desire. 

They were pretty murky looking at first. The carrying cloths all circles and stripes. 

Hopefully dry by this time tomorrow.

looking at Charlie looking at the circle-and-striped cloths brought Jude's alphabet quilt to mind ...

and 'tis the season (yet again) for allergies down our way ... enough to make one feel Covid-level miserable for sure

🤞 for negative tests. Seeing his engagement in this process of yours speaks to the fountains of learning that can take place in non-traditional ways. And his feet...pure innocence in their youthfulness! xo
