Went to Art Fair today…wow. It’s absolutely amazing. I do believe it’s larger than even I ever thought it could be. It’s enormous. We walked around for hours and saw only a fraction of it. Stef really didn’t do it justice when she told me, “It’s huge.” I mean, really, “huge” could mean any number of things. She really could have been more descriptive.

I’m expanding my blogging capabilities, having taken over Stef’s laptop here in Michigan.

I’ve recently learned, thanks to Michelle and Ryan, that there are new wheels out on the market that are just as cool as spinners.

Okay, so I’m rather disappointed that my riddle didn’t stump more people. Everyone who has responded has gotten it right. Perhaps those who haven’t responded don’t know the answer, and in that case, it’s quite a good riddle, because many people didn’t respond.

Only one person has responded to my riddle posted Friday, and that’s Nicole. She not only responded, she got it right! She’s a smartypants, that girl. I’ll leave you all dangling a bit longer, as I’m curious to see if anyone else can get the answer.

You can find me in darkness but never in light. I am present in daytime but absent in night. In the deepest of shadows, I hide in plain sight. What am I?

My cousin Angie was in town recently, and reading a Harry Potter book. I don’t remember which one specifically, but I know it was one of the later ones because it was pretty thick. She said she was re-reading all of them in anticipation of the upcoming new (and final) book. See, so much happens in each Harry Potter book that picking one up out of sequence, or when you haven’t read its predecessor in a couple years, can leave you a bit muddled. There are references back to the previous books, and you sorta feel left out while you struggle to remember what happened.

The sea is calm to-night.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; – on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.

I found my favorite nail polish! In looking for something completely unrelated last night, I discovered the bottle stuffed between the cushions of the couch. Definitely a product of Zoe craftiness. She’s been loving crawling all over the couch lately.
