Plowing Through the Creek for the KOM...Maybe

Dragon Masters

H has been pouring himself into reading the Dragon Masters series ever since I unburied the collection of books in the attic and suggested to him that he might enjoy the series. Apparently, some local library challenge will reward one lucky child with a Kindle. Each time you finish a book and submit a picture of the book, you get an entry in the drawing. That might have something to do with his reading motivation. Either way, I'm glad he is finding enjoyment in reading.

So, if H wins the drawing, my aspirations of being a Kindle-free household when K's Kindle finally dies, will be dashed.

Chilly in June

This is June and it is legit chilly outside. The weather might be a bit cooler than normal, but we're also in the mountains, under a dense canopy of trees. The difference it makes is never more noticeable than when we make a trip to the city, into the concrete jungle, void of shade and peace and moderate temperatures. I'm sure it'll be hot and humid here in no time. There's no escaping July and August.
