Evening on campus.

Dan and I had dinner on campus, but at a new place. It is in the old movie theatre, that was recently renovated. We ate outside and had a view of the chapel, as shown below. We walked around for a bit afterwards and Dan took me to see the pink lady’s slippers in the second picture, which are apparently rather rare.

Party projects.

We had Luke’s birthday party yesterday. 20 plus kids, but it went pretty well. We spent a lot of time preparing and it all went really well. This week I built a couple of things for the party – a mobile sand box and a table and bench set. The latter was finished about 20 minutes before the party started.

Eclipse.

Things went quite a bit differently than expected, but in the end I was able to make a brief trip up to Wickliffe, Kentucky to see the total solar eclipse. My location was a bit underwhelming, but the eclipse itself was still magical. It was a three and a half hour drive each way. Fortunately I was able to leave before traffic became terrible.

Trail cam.

Luke got a trail cam as a belated Christmas present, and we have set it up at the edge of the back field. So far we have seen rabbits, armadillos, squirrels, birds, possums, and a deer. Oh, and also a fox and a bobcat. The pictures haven’t been great, but here are a few.
