“Quarantine” Day #053

  1. Yali and Patience sit in extended “time out” for your garden variety of crimes, giggling through most of it; lessons definitely unlearned
  2. Puck mows the lawn at the Big House while Uncle Frances attempts to install window boxes for Mom, one of her lifelong dreams

Yali, banned to the outdoors for various wild behaviors, is heard later banging on the kitchen door…

BANG! BANG! BANG!

“Hello? Does anybody work here?”

“I’m hoping one day I find a rock packed with fossils and I open it and find something in there like a metal ingot that has language printed on it, from the time of Noah’s flood.”

Oxbear chuckled. “And it says, ‘Ham was here.’”

“He would be the only one of Noah’s sons who would do that.”

“’Dear Diary, today I saw my dad…’”
