Breakfast includes conducting tone deaf tests on Patience which makes her laugh while Yali watches video of giant purple starfish from the Salish Sea on my phone...

Skip ahead through picking up things like banana peanut butter protein shake mix for Mr. Army working out in the basement... and the minivan with finally repaired A/C... and library reserves... under piles of fluffy whites in a hazy blue sky...

Kids tumbling out of Yellow Bird summer camp after dissecting a whole Dogfish shark... “THEY HAVE THREE KIDNEYS!” Patience declares...

And Patience to the studio hitting her next read on the drive – Skylark...

While Mama handles a jumble of ENT follow-up scheduling and post-adoption reports and dress fits for upcoming competitions...

And Oxbear and Puck work on the next custom 3D-print job between Puck's next shift at work...

Evening already dips in... high summer late light...
