Enthuse

Picture Life | Superpowers | Where I Stand | 9 O'Clock 

I was enthused to discover that whether it is either 9:00 a.m. or 9:00 p. m. I am often either getting ready for the day or getting ready for bed.

Endear

Picture Life | Superpowers

This is Ripley.  Her superpower seems to be to lie as close to me as she can.  I've taken several pictures of her recently, and unless she's sleeping, she always seems to move around while I try to take her picture.

Develop

Picture Life | Superpowers 

A skill I have developed is putting together Lego projects.  While we were at Kentuck Knob I found some Atom brick Frank Lloyd Wright buildings.  I haven't seen Unity Temple in regular Lego so I picked up an Atom Brick set to try it out.  I recently read an article about Adam Reed Tucker, the founder of Atom Brick.  He previously worked for Lego and says that the three-quarter size blocks allow for the models to be more detailed while also allowing them to be easily handled.  Additionally, he derived the name from the idea that the atom is the building block of life.  After I build it, I'll give you a review.

Entertain

Picture Life | Superpowers | Picture Me 

One of my superpowers seems to be finding somewhat obscure places to visit on trips.  Today we visited Polymath Park in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania.  Polymath Park was originally home to the Balter and Blum Houses, designed by Wright apprentice Peter Berndston. Wright's Duncan and Lindholm (or Mantyla) Houses have been moved there after being threatened with demolition due to development. Now Lloyd Wright's Birdwing has been deconstructed and will be rebuilt there too.  On our visit we saw the Balter House, the Duncan House, and the Lindholm (Mantyla) House.  Very much worth a visit if you are into architecture or Frank Lloyd Wright.

Picture Style | Golden Hour | Picture My World 

I was finally able to take my photo down my driveway for the quarterly picture and get the collage created.  I was even able to take it during the golden hour.

Daydream

Picture Style | Golden Hour

This little nook in the house we're renting looks like it would be a great place to get lost in a book and daydream for a bit.
