It's been cool watching her work, from design, to cutting the glass pieces, to grinding it to shape, to foiling the pieces and then soldering them together.
Here, she's soldering.
And yes, it's all a bit dangerous. She has nicks from the glass and a slight burn from the soldering gun. Nothing too bad though, thankfully.
Violet returned to school this week, but it'll be a short week for her, as we're flying to Washington Thursday.
On Tuesday, Rigo and his guys came out to trim our liquidambar. It had gotten very tall, and though it seems really healthy, I've been nervous when we've had big wind storms.
Around 3 p.m. Monday, we had the windows all open, and could hear sirens outside. Then, we heard a howling and yipping that could only mean coyote. Normally though, coyotes are active at dusk and overnight.
We went out to look for it, and there it was, on the hill. Another curious neighbor came out to see it, and said he's been seeing it around for a couple of weeks.
Sure enough, a few days later, Stace and I went out for a later afternoon walk, and Stace found him on our lawn! Glad we no longer have free-roaming cats.
