Hoo-ee



Evie in the morning.

The Banff Festival of Mountain Films was AWESOME last night. BASE jumping is crazy. I was totally inspired (NOT TO BASE JUMP) and I really want to learn filmmaking. I plan to be a documentary filmmaker after I am a reference librarian and an international spy (only eco-peace missions of course, LOL!).

Today we planted a few things in our community garden--all hail the brassicas!

Evie has been sucked into two new series: Artemis Fowl and Children Of The Lamp She has been lost in that world for most of the day, I think she is already in #3 of Children of the Lamp.

We recently finished reading (aloud) The Wee Free Men . I was a daunted by the back cover which described the story as a cross between "Celtic mythology and Buffy the Vampire Slayer"--we all loved it and just picked up the sequel today.

We have peregrine falcons nesting in the city (MG&E stacks on Wash. if you live in town). This one came shopping on our street today.

WOW...a beautiful bird hanging out on your street...so cool!

Sounds like a great day...and that Evie is looking very grown up.

I think you would be good at about anything you tried your hand at!

Cool pictures of the peregrine falcon! We are reading "My Side of the Mountain" in which a peregrine falcon is one of the main characters. Great timing.

Madeline: Love the book--and all the sequels! I always look at giant trees as a potential home now!
