Raindrops keep falling on my head... Today is a more typical fall day in New England- predicted highs in the 50's.  The pictures are from my family's yard after our rain last night and this morning.  As I think about the rain and how it nourishes the earth, our plants, and us, I am reminded that California needs this rain. 
     Today we will paint our Ming Dynasty bowls (clay made) so that we can use them as decorations at our table for our African Feast tomorrow evening.  The girls (and I too) are excited to feast on such delicacies. 

Quote of the Day: Paraphrased from my husband "Hey- I saw this [computer] window open to a blog for an educational topic- did you see it?   I wanted to use some of the ideas/ layout from it."  I said, Sorry, the computer shut down, but I have the address- it's MY blog !!  He made my day :-
