Frances makes it difficult for me to leave for work in the morning, with all her cuteness.
Giant Ragweed (Ambrosia trifida)
Giant ragweed, or what we called horseweed, when I was a kid. It is trying to kill me.
I’ve had this same Art Bin art box since college. The interior is covered with ground-in graphite and charcoal. I washed it thoroughly. It still looks filthy, but at least the surface residue is gone now and won’t rub off on stuff I put in it. I’m going to Minnesota in a few days, to visit family, and I needed something portable and easy to stow some art crap in.

Bosslady
As I was cleaning and sorting and getting rid of mountains of crap, I came across a box of photos I’d forgotten about. These are some of my favorites. Harriet was the original bosslady, and Elliott was her willing minion.
Wednesday was a good day.
I walked to work today, to avoid driving home this afternoon during the chaos of freshman move-in. As I was walking, the fog started to descend, and by the time I got to the edge of campus, it was pea soup. Absolutely gorgeous.
I’ve been averaging about 6 miles a day, according to my FitBit. I think it’s probably pretty close to accurate, after comparing it to what my pedometer says. Most of that is split between walking to and from work, with a break in the afternoon to walk around in the stacks.
I’ve been walking in to work (and home again) as much as possible. When I do, I enter the building through the loading dock, where this little tree lives.
I found a puke green flannel shirt at Goodwill. I love this color. It uploaded next to a photo I took at work of the western horizon, and I think the two images go nicely together.
