Limbs & Roots
Did you know that some trees look the same on top and bottom?
Limbs, branches, twigs stretch up and out, toward the sun; roots and tendrils reach down and out, toward the water, food.
In some trees, roots grow as deep as the limbs are high.
75/365: How To Make Mom Feel Less Guilty for Giving You Gummy Bears
Make it educational!
Before he ate the sticky, sugary, gooey, messy little things, Atticus lined them all up according to color; then, he counted all the colors and compared them.
Good boy!
High Aspirations
Notice that Lucas doesn’t say he wants to be Spider-man when he grows up. He says he will be.
Dream big, little one, and don’t ever stop.

73/365: Oxymoron!
How can something be progressive and primitive? I’m not sure, but it’s a great example of oxymoron: a contradictory epigram of two (or just a few) words.
72/365: Bloomin’ Dogwood
I love that the Dogwood is the Virginia state tree and flower because I just adore them … especially in bloom!
I hope I get to take a picture of the pear trees planted up and down Riverside Drive sometime this week. For the shot in my head, I’d probably have to stand in the median, though — not too sure I’m ready to be that daring.
This Dogwood is outside Sacred Heart.
71/365: Rango
If we could have bought Rango on the way out of the theater, we probably would’ve. It was that good.
And since our movie outing was Lucas’ extra-special treat for having 10 school days with no bad marks AND Atticus’ first movie ever, it’s a very good thing it was so good. 🙂
70/365: Cross-Campus Scenery
One of the large oaks beautifying my cold and windy cross-campus treks to and from the computer lab today.
Someone commented on the huge bird nests, but I knew (thanks to my Kevin) that they’re actually squirrels’ nests.
69/365: Steps to Nowhere
I used to live down the street from this vacant lot. For 12 years, I passed by, sometimes driving, sometimes on foot … usually wondering, What used to be there?
See the concrete steps? See the grass-invaded sidewalk area?
They don’t just pour that stuff for an empty field, right?
