This Afternoon

We started weeding a patch of what the boys call "Monkey Grass." It's grown to a bigger and bigger patch over the years, so I want to get rid of it and reclaim our yard. Kahoa got stung by a bumblebee; I think there's a nest of them in all that grass. We found some holes, and there were LOTS of bumblebees hanging around!

During all of this, Miss Moana tried to be social with the kitty. She walked up to him saying, "What a lovely thing." I have no idea where she picked up that expression. Then she got upset because she kept asking him for a hug and he wouldn't give her one. (?) She came to me complaining, "Kitty won't give me a hug!"

Mr. B and Tim are working on a desk. We have two PC's, one is mostly mine and one is the family PC (but Tim is the only one who really uses it!) Then my brother gave Tim an old Mac to practice graphics on. So we have three computers and one corner to squeeze them into. Mr. B and Tim designed a computer desk that three computers will fit on, and two people can sit at. And it fits in the corner in such a way that that the patio door will still open. They've been working on it for awhile (six months?) but it's finally close to completion!
