Oh, happy green washing machine power indicator light, welcome back.  We missed you.  Thankfully, Mr. Appliance is an essential worker.  Also, it should be said that the oft-maligned Home Depot seems to have honored the five-year service plan we purchased with the washer their installers declined to install and which broke after a year and a half.

Anyway, we can do laundry in-house again.

Other things that we can do around here:

Have taco salad for dinner

Enjoy viritual moms’ night out

Clean chainsaw, shape pottery and take a violin lesson all at the same time in the same room

A new month dawns.

As for what Zoe and Lanie were up to:

I made a new video for the kindergarteners.  This one is about seeds.

Zoe went to the high school to pick up a big slab of clay for her pottery class.

Here are some other things that happened:

Lanie’s pretzels were served with dinner.

Ivy and Ebby napped together.
