Rogue hoodie. I will obviously be getting one of these. I’m tempted to also get the Captain Marvel one, but as someone on Twitter pointed out, what they really need to make is a reversible Rogue/Carol one. :) I gotta stop going into Chapters Bookstore. Every time I do, I come out with more research material. :) The last foray netted me A BRIEF HISTORY OF KHUBILAI KHAN for an upcoming project and THE FUTURE HISTORY OF THE ARCTIC for the climate change series I’m not writing. The Kenai Peninsula…

gardening & not-baking
Young Indiana inspects our potatoes, which are growing like gangbusters. I thought the idea of putting them near holes in the container was that the tops would grow that way, but apparently the whole thing is shallow enough that both layers of potatoes are just reaching for the top. Gangbusters! Several of our strawberry plants didn’t take and I haven’t gone to get more, but two are looking healthy, and our lettuce is growing nicely! In fact, all of that has now been clipped back and will shortly be part…

Saturday his Nana and Papa arrived. Sunday was his birthday (“NOW I am four years old, Mama!”) and the whole fam damily was over, which is *excrutiatingly* exciting. Today he has still not gotten over the excitement of Nana and Papa’s arrival and is pretty well beside himself. Ted is off work for NINE WHOLE DAYS.…

“I love you, Mama,” Young Indiana said as we ate lunch, and then leaned over. I leaned over to kiss him and he said, “Ah ah ah! I will do it!” and kissed my cheek. Pretty hard to be anything other than happy when you’ve got that kind of sweetie boy. :) Beyond that, however, I’m pleased to report that the agent likes the PADYA proposal, and while we haven’t decided our plan of attack yet, I’m exceedingly glad he likes it and am really looking forward to figuring out…
