Monthly review: April 2021
| monthly, review- I switched from Wordpress to a static blog.
- Lots of Emacs tweaks: getting the hang of Lispy, asynchronously tangling and compiling my config, posting to Eleventy.
- I sewed grow bags for the strawberries and we worked on the garden. It's still a little chilly, so we've been moving plants in and out.
- I'm still in the stage of reading a gazillion books out loud to A-. I've been sneakily using it as first-letter-of-words steno practice with the hand that's not pointing to what I'm reading, which has the side benefit of slowing my reading down so that it's easier for her to understand things. Mwahaha!
- I bought a used Maxi Micro scooter for A-. She liked it a lot. I ordered new handles for her, too.
- A- was excited about the big feathers I bought for use as quills and has been practising with them.
- We made a couple of cakes because A- wanted to experiment.
- I worked on a few more long dresses and a couple of fabric flowers for A.
- We saw a squirrel nest fall. The mama squirrel came back for the baby squirrel.
