The warm weather was great for the Lil Buddha too. She had a seriously surf and turf weekend.

Skye and Lark came over to the short course. Lark strode with great purpose and cleared the fields of dandelions.



And to confirm that being a parent requires production of stereotypically cute pictures, here is the obligatory moment when =Lark discovered real ladybugs:


(Yes, even in this short afternoon Lark went through a series of clothing changes)

Then it was off to the beach. It was impossible to get a picture of her with the crappy little camera I brought because she was never still, but here is a crappy little video.


I am going to get one of those little USB cameras, just haven't gotten around to it. That should insure that Nunal becomes almost unbearable.

Lark also had a chance to eat some honey right out of some comb from my hives in Chesapeake. This went over big.

I thought I wouldn't have to use it but if the washing machine is also a "hi tech" drier I sure can't find the right combination of buttons. Not that I haven't looked. I tried to decipher everything with the help of my dictionary and limited knowledge of the hangul alphabet (which includes only a dim understanding of the actual letter order--still working on that). The word pronounced (I think) "saw" is a simple two letter word. But according to my dictionary, it means, "a cow, a bull, an ox" or "dressing, stuffing," "little, few, ...

In case you didn't see that county map indicating increased Republican voting between 2004 and 2008 before they took it off of the NYTimes page, here is an image of it: This is a fascinating document that I think will be the focus of many studies.
