5/14: finishing

...the grading for the year.

5/13: another day

...that included online lecture opportunities.  Yesterday I Zoomed a lecture on John Gabriel Stedman's use of Andromache in his account of his time in Suriname.  Today I attended a webinar on Greek and Roman myth.

5/12: seeing

...a deer in our woods. Chris spotted it through our bedroom window and called to me so I could see it too.

5/11: waiting

...until today to write some emails.  Though it meant putting them off last week, I didn't want to write when rushed and scattered.  This evening I was more collected, and that allowed me to focus on choosing my words and making connections to the people I was writing to.

5/10: a handful

...of berries gathered at the end of my morning walk.  There won't be as many this year as last year, so a handful seemed like bounty.

5/9: taking a break

...from grading.  I got enough done on Friday that I can pause for the weekend.

5/8: receiving

...wonderful sweet Greek bread, made by a graduating senior.

5/7: reading

...Mac Barnett's Make Believe: On Telling Stories to Children and then Runaway Bunny and The Indoor Noisy Book by Margaret Wise Brown.
