Surprise Guest

Walked out onto the back porch one night this week and found this guy on the table cover! 

  

Percussionist Extraordinaire!

Davis got to bring the glockenspiel home this week to practice. 

He is really enjoying percussion and band - his other favorite is marimba!

His grumpy faces in these videos are from the fact that I filmed him. Lol! 

 

Catching Up

Davis missed school on Friday. 

We made it almost six full weeks but we did get a Covid exposure call. 

Fortunately, he was exposed in 6th period band - and because he is percussion, Davis stands in the back keeping his mask on all through class. The child who had Covid sat up in the front playing clarinet. 

We tested him on Thursday afternoon before we went to Disney and he was negative. 

And we tested him again on Sunday afternoon and he was negative. So he was able to go back to school today, instead of waiting until Wednesday. Thankful we seemed to have dodged it this go round.

Furry Friends

 Came home from church to find these two out in my garden! 

Thankfully I haven't planted seeds yet, but these two love to eat plants and veggies. 

Garden Life

Getting the garden ready to plant next weekend with more vegetables. 

So today in went the flowers for the pollinators. 

And as I repotted these I finally added the row of rock to the bottom of the pots for better drainage. 

 

Scenes from a Week

I spent some time out at the labyrinth on Thursday with a few ladies from my Creating a Life with God class where we are exploring twelve different prayer practices. 

 

And here's Daryl cutting up communion bread for a funeral - the dogs are quite certain that he has something more interesting to share with them! 

An Epcot Adventure

We had a passholder preview opportunity on Thursday night for the new Remy's Rataouille Adventure ride in the France expansion in Epcot. We got to go with the Hills and hang out. It was so much fun and we got to ride it twice! 

On our way out we caught the Epcot Forever fireworks and then made a stop in the newest flagship park store - Creations Shop. They had closed the old Mousegears long ago and had a temporary location while they renovated the store. The new Creations store is very light and bright. 

And they've got these great gold statues throughout the parks - 50 in all for the 50th anniversary on October 1.
