Sunday - Day of [not] rest
May 17,
Today we did yard work before it started raining. Lionel has been unhappy with the people who cut our grass, so he borrowed the neighbor's lawn mower and did it himself. He also cut the branches that were sticking out on the sidewalk. I bet people were grateful for that one. I trimmed the bushes, and picked up a lot of dead plants and leaves. Bella pulled small weeds, and in the last hour or so Sofia also came out to help pick everything up.

Work and Rest
May 16,
Today was a mix of hard work and relaxation. In the morning I went running 6.5 miles. It was supposed to be raining on and off, but since I normally can't run during the week I went for it. I managed to get 4 miles in before it started pouring, so I came back home soaking wet. We then spent the better part of 4 hours working on my desk. I bought it online last weekend and the good news is that it came very fast. The not so good news is that it came in a million pieces and we had to put it together. That was hard work, but it looks really nice. And come to think of it, this is the first time ever that I have a dedicated desk, just for me, at home.
In the evening it stopped raining and the sun came out, so I sat on the hammock for a while. Then Bella came out and got on it with me as well. I needed that. It was the most relaxing part of the day - or of the whole week for that matter.

Home Schooling - Day 45
May 15,
Today Bella made me fruit and donuts for breakfast. How could I say no to that?
It wasn't particularly sunny outside, but it was warm and comfortable during our family walk.

Home Schooling - Day 44
May 14,
Today Bella made Poke Bowls for lunch. They were good. And the weather finally warmed up! We went on our family walk and I finally was able to wear shorts and no sweater. Per Bella's request, we also walked to Kilgour to kick the soccer ball for a little bit. I don't love going to that school, but I did it for her.

Home Schooling - Day 43
May 13,
Today was cold once again. Everyone did their own thing but at the end of the day, when I came back downstairs, I found all 3 of them doing some online quizzes to entertain themselves. We went on our family walk and I forgot to take a picture of the 4 of us, so Lionel and I just took a selfie at the end.

Home Schooling - Day 42
May 12,
Today was cloudy most of the day, but the sun came out during our family walk. On our way back we found a bird nest on the ground, with one egg left in it. There was some debate about whether we should leave it there, or bring it home and put it in a safe corner of the garden. But at the end Lionel won and we left it there. I want to be hopeful, but I am not sure that little guy is going to make it.
