This morning I went into our backyard and found a rabbit with a mouthful of grass just beyond our back patio. Interestingly, upon seeing me it did not run away - just hopped a few feet further and sat there. I approached a little closer and it did not move. It was not eating the grass... so I suspected it must be building a burrow nearby. Sure enough, I went inside and looked out a window, and saw it go to a spot near one of our trees, deposit the grass, then hop over to another area of the yard, gather more grass, go back and deposit it again. I put up a trailcam above the location to see if I can capture any action.
In mid-morning DW, youngest DS, and I ventured into DC to see "The Art of the Brick" exhibition. A fascinating collection of 100+ Lego sculptures created by Nathan Sawaya. Some are modeled after famous art pieces (e.g. "The Scream", "Whistler's Mother", "Nike of Samothrace" - a.k.a "Winged Victory", "David", etc.), some are originals, some are of animals - a wide variety. I could not help but total up the pieces used, my final count was over 1.2 million. DW and Ds were super into Legos and still have many of the larger sets they were gifted when younger, plus we have about 6 large bins of Lego pieces I have been told in no uncertain terms to not throw out (they do come it handy at holiday time to make things like supports for tree lights to allow the train to run under them
.
Afterwards, we got out of DC before encountering too much of the Friday rush hour traffic and had a late but large "this is my meal for the day lunch". DS has left for his home, and now I'm just puttering around the home computing lab. while DW decides if she wants us to watch a movie or have a game night later.
Update: I forgot the NBA playoff s were on tonight, so we decided to watch the Knicks destroy the Celtics, while texting with family and friends about the game.
Love my Grandma time
