Grandma discovered Airplay screenshare between the iPad and the Roku.

The boy squealed with delight as he typed each letter in Wordle.

it drops with the first arrow

The full force of the law landed upon him.

He wailed pitifully.

Still no ice cream.

䷳䷴

the wild goose gradually
draws near the summit
it’s all a phase

Fart. <giggle>
Burp. <giggle>
Butt! <giggle>

䷙䷣

one attains the way of heaven
poo poo

Too much is a nice problem.

This year we tried making apple ice cream.

With caramel.

We were looking for a dehydrator but got sidetracked with this churning frozen machine.

䷛

the ridgepole sags to the breaking point
laden with three months of fruit

I’ve been obsessed with investing, trying to guess the future for our benefit.

Maybe it’s OK.
Or a giant waste of time.

More money tomorrow is a helluva addiction.

䷍䷣

he makes a difference
dust more dust

I walked the boy to sleep in the wagon.
He tipped over and bumped his head.

Still asleep.
Even as I took him out of the cart.

Until we came inside.
Straight awake.

Off to play with his sister.

䷤䷠

she is the treasure of the house
he is the treasure of the house

They tied the wagon to the tricycle.

This time he drove this train.

Striving to pull big sis around the yard.

䷰䷾

changing the form of government
the princeling labors in joy

They spread out a big green sheet on the floor.

Camping pads made the walls.

Dive in!

䷭

departure toward the south
into the verdant void

Are you like mommy or daddy?

I’m like sister!

Really?

You won’t wear socks and spend all day in your underwear!

䷧

thunder and rain set in
like roquefort and pears

We stood on ladders to watch the fireworks.
But walking was much more flexible.

There were displays to the north, south, and east.
We chased sounds and flashes.

She stayed up till 2215.
One neighbor obliged with a big finale at 2213.

364 days till next year.
