Doing a farewell round of programs- all those fun things I want to try but haven’t gotten around to yet. Some will have to wait for my new digs, but who knows how many libraries still have stockpiles of Date Due Cards? Better enjoy them while I can.

They were so quick planting their recycled jar terrariums I didn’t get any good pictures! Luckily, there is a helpful online video from Brooklyn Sprout geared toward hip adults. Very easy and enjoyable.

Today we learned about bird beaks and how they are designed to help birds eat different kinds of food. And then we glued tissue paper to wooden birdie houses.

Seasons and Cycles

December raises my creative energy- making cards and gifts, cleaning and organizing, and already making resolutions for the new year. Coming off the noveling in November I see great expanses of time and have lots of ideas for how to spend it.
Is it too early for resolutions?

In rereading my resolutions from last December, I find I want the same things: keep writing and work towards publishing, keep up with museum club in a more dedicated way, and one thing I didn’t do at all this year- make short films.
But of course, apart from all these creative resolutions I had a completely wonderful, educational and perfect year. Travel, cycling, romance, time with friends and family, all bedrock things that I did not resolve but that arrived as gifts throughout the year. Do the resolutions help? Or do they just fill up time that otherwise could be put to more wonderful use?
