Cold morning, happy kid. It was 25° when we woke up, and about 32° here. Our grassy areas were brushhogged yesterday, and the waist high to me, head-high to Dorothy grass is much less intimidating. And the cold means no ticks!
We have been considering selling the house and moving back to the city. Days like today make me think we shouldn’t.

Some stranded knitting for a secret gift. With a chart and everything. Not my typical hands-busy-mind-free knitting fare, this one takes concentration. Which is in short supply around here, so slow going. #knitting #fairisle

Gloria learned to read this year. She was anxious about it for a long time, and it blocked her progress. But then, it became easier and easier, and she was reading. This is the first time that I have seen her reading a so called chapter book by choice. She has read lots of comics, Calvin and Hobbes, picture books. She has been read to for countless hours by her father at bedtime. She has read video game instructions. She grudgingly read the first book in this series though it took her a week, then the second book in a day, still, only because I asked her to. But this is the dawn of the novel for her. A momentous day! What amazing things she has to look forward to. I’m kinda jealous. #magictreehouse #mummiesinthemorning #unschooling

Sean and some other men are regrading our road today. It involves large trucks, tractors, and a big pile of gravel.

They look like time travelers. Like, they *almost* got the right way to dress for the early 21st century. This is just how they dress though. #unschool #gallifreyanchildren

Hanging out with Steve? and knitting on my modified #milo (Modifilo). Fides is baking cookies and listening to the Clancy Brothers, which means clearly I have raised at least one child right, and I’m going to make salmon croquettes for dinner. Those are the ways we are stewarding the world on this bright fall day. How are you? Have you told the people you love that you love them recently? #knitting #babysweater #vest
