Lesson 949: Wavelength

 

Hello, Readers!

We'll start off with Science Class this week.

Remember this?

White light breaks down into colors of the visible spectrum.

Each color has a wavelength.

Let's start with 620-750's

That was a great flavor!

Now for the 590-620's

570-590

495-570

450-495

and 380-450!

Grand are the colors of Spring!

If you ride my wavelength on books,

here are my recent reads!

Gus is a very smart cat!

He likes to read 

and recommends this illustrated version of Harry Potter.

5 stars for this Newbery winner from 2024!

lots of tabs for the good parts.

The story is interspersed with beautiful artwork.

I liked Theo of Golden.

It's a solid three star read

given the number of side tabs for the good parts.

It had some issues though,

evidenced by the top tabs.

They wave like red flags

and invite discussion if you ever check out the book 

from the Lamp Post library.

I picked this up from the public library.

Jimmy would approve that I used the library.

Catchy title---

but not.

I wish it had a better one.
Lots of this research I read during my Master Gardner certification.

Did you all catch the plant leaves

that made up the words in the title?

In elementary school we call that foreshadowing.

Eat your plants!

Gus and I are glad you rode our wavelength tonight.

Sam and Anna are game players,

and this is their recent find.

It's fun!

But now,

let's follow Gus's lead.

Time for rest!

Lesson 948: Green (again)

Hello Readers!

Eloise, here.

We have reached the weekend

and it's a green one.
 

What a difference a week makes in mid-April!

Last week:

This week:

The color of the day last Sunday

was Sand and Lake Blue,

as the A-Team and I took a ride around the peninsula.

Sometimes it is nice to be the only ones on the beach!

The Clark School tree, just below the north hill,

 is greening up.

The kids are getting outside for recess

for some nice fresh air.

Just over that Clark School southern hill

is Harbor Ridge Golf Course.

They hit up the driving range on Sunday

and the course tonight.

The Queen gives her pro tips.

A big congratulations to Ellen!

She is the new Harbor Creek High School Lady Huskies Golf Coach!

I'll capitalize on the science fiction reference

and shout from the rooftops out into the cosmos--

GO SEE PROJECT HAIL MARY!!

This is the movie

And here is the book

Witty and exciting is the perfect description.

Reading the book,

then watching the movie 

is the best way to experience a story.

After reading it,

the story never left me.

I kept thinking about it.

I could not imagine how anyone

could put that story into pictures.

It would be impossible.

Almost as impossible as saving the world.

But...

they did it.

I'm not going to link the movie trailer

because it gives too much away if you are making your way

through the story.

Here is someone else's 

book to movie adaptation thumbs-up rating.

Do you agree?

Here's an adaptation for you--

we went to a Behrend baseball game

and sat on the AWAY side!

Jake donned his Gannon jersey

and we showed up to watch him play!

Sam will be playing for the American Legion this summer,

so we aren't putting our gear away yet.

He has three weeks left,

and his freshman year of college will be done.

We catch the Huskies at home when 

the weather doesn't leave the ground like this:

Super fun with 8 dog paws.

This little thing is driving my dogs nuts.

It toys with them outside of their watchdog window.

Look at the beautiful red stripe!

Here are the little things driving Mr. Lamp Post nuts.

He got the best of them on Tuesday evening.

They got the best of him this morning--not one bite!

I like the color green.

As I was thinking of a blog title for tonight,

it rang an emerald little bell.

Had I used it once before?

Looking back,

I did use it in a similar title

back in 2017.

It's fun for me to look back,

seeing how far we've traveled in our timeline.

and the good people of it.
