5 Minute Sketches (From June)
Doing some "catch up" work, here:
Several weeks back (yes it's been a busy summer...some ups, some downs) Anna and I took a trip one rainy morning to the Wagner Free Institute of Science in North Philly and did what any self-respected 21st Century naturalist would do in a 19th century museum: we whipped out the drawing pads (no iPads, thank you very much!!) and spent our time sketching the stuffed birds and the old bones on display! Here are a few of our favorites:
Eat your heart out Charles Darwin! I've seen your sketches of those finches from the Galapagos! Speaking of Captain Evolutionary Theory, we three Hobans are hopping across the pond starting tomorrow (and going for a fortnight) to jolly ole you-know-where. Spending time with family in Sheffield and TOTALLY avoiding the "2012 Mayhem" in London. We are planning an overnight, however, in Cambridge where I'll track down all things related to Mr. Darwin. Can't wait!
Until next time...Cheers!!

The Longest Day of the Year...
...deserves the first post of the season!
As of last Friday, school is officially over and summer has begun!
Much [back logged] work in the garden has taken up most of my time these past few days. A vegetable garden in a raised bed, some pruning and replanting here and there and a refilled [not so] new feeder that attracts more than the birds of the air. Next project: squirrel proof that shaz!!!

Little Lost Pillow Pet: An Epic Poem (Part II)
Little lost pillow pet
I see you there.
"That's right, it's me
Up here in the air."
Little lost pillow pet
Playing around
"Someday real soon
I'm sure I'll be found."

Little Lost Pillow Pet: An Epic Poem
Little lost pillow pet
Where, oh where are you?
I am far from my owner
At a place called PU.
Little lost pillow pet
Where will you go?
My course is now set
Tomorrow you will know.
Dear Reader: Can you name the building behind Little Lost Pillow Pet?
