Lesson 742: Inside Outside

Hello, Readers.

Happy Earth Day.

Here's a quote from an author from one of my favorite

childhood books.

Can you guess the classic novel?

It made me desperately want to raise a pig

and name it Wilbur.

If you guessed EB White to be the author of

Charlotte's Web, you are correct!

Reading about wise old Charlotte the spider

made a lasting impression on young Eloise.

Spiders are one thing I never have feared.

I think I missed reading it to Sam.

I found the gentle giant getting ready for school in the downstairs 

half bathroom off of the kitchen this morning.

I peeked in the door with a raised eyebrow 

to inquire what was going on.

"Spider," he said.

It's like an elephant with a mouse.

Sam had a great varsity debut tonight in McLane,

so I'll go easy on the teasing tonight.

Earth Day was a beauty!

Outside the sun was shining

and the school kids got to play outside for recess 

on a nice, spring day.

These are the perfect springtime clouds/

After the snow last weekend,

I am tickled to see things greening up.

The earth laughed, too,

giggling up some fresh buds and blossoms.

We know the end of the school year is closing in.

The congrats seniors 2022 sign is on top of the stadium!

We have taken almost every one of your suggestions.

He keeps at the window pecking,

but not quite as often.

Natalie and I blasted Metallica at him a couple of days ago, too.

The garage is summer ready with the recliners back in place.

Inside we've finally chosen a floor.

Mr. Lamp Post did a fabulous job!

We finally agreed on a wide plank maple!

Now back to the disagreements.

We cannot decide on a color for the counter peninsula!

As always--

we kindly welcome Reader suggestions.

Lighter?

Darker?

Black?
A color?

Baseball season is the most hectic of the year.

The games are long.

The weather is unpredictable.

By the end of the night, I am always very tired,

but wound tigher than a top.

I find that if I have a good laugh before bed,

I sleep much better.

Freeform runs episodes of The Office every night.
We just watched the one where Michael Scott said,

"I'm not superstitious.  I'm just a little stitious."

Here are some good Office quotes if you are in need of a laugh, too.
