In another baking morning...

...check updates on the massive 8.8 quake fallout in Russian waters...

...studio for Patience...

...play therapy for Oxbear and Yali...

...treadmill for Puck...

...cleaning and laundry for Mama...

Puck calls me several hours later while driving Patience back from the studio... “Is it over?” he asks hopefully... the heat... it's suddenly beginning to relax... maybe due to the dark sky of not yet fallen rain in the west...

Mid-afternoon...

...Oxbear and Patience mix peanut butter cookies in the kitchen...

...Yali is practicing more blood spray from battle carnage...

...Mama shuttles Puck over to work...

...while the 3D printer hums with more creations in the basement storage room...

Patience out to the studio for a quick sixty-minute class before dinner...

Home in a soft washing rain...

Crickets and peepers in a heavy wet night...

Puck tinkering on Presley under the old carport light...
