SEDATE DAY: We're trying to get back to 'normal' (whatever that means) post all of our special activities as of late, but we've had a set back due to CJ being afflicted with a bad sore throat & painful ears type of thing.
He had to skip his drama class today, and his Dungeons and Dragons club, alas.
We marked some time by putting on the NASA channel - always a good choice. They had extensive coverage of the latest SpaceX resupply mission to the International Space Station.It was a monumental achievement because the mission marked the first reflight of a Dragon spacecraft. Specifically, the Dragon previously flew during the fourth Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-4) mission back in September 2014.
The Dragon capsule that launched on June 3 is now safely docked with the ISS. On board Dragon are 6,000 pounds of supplies and payloads, including critical materials to directly support dozens of the more than 250 science and research investigations.
Dragon is scheduled to remain attached to the ISS until July 2, when it will be released and head back down to Earth for a splashdown.
FRUITY: Like so many other things this spring, our gardening efforts have suffered due to our busy schedule.
We usually plant our big garden with plants lovingly nurtured from seeds which we watch over as starts on our kitchen countertop for weeks. Well, this year, our kitchen countertop was donated to grow plants for a community garden, and our personal garden suffered. So, we ended up buying a few starts and planting them.
One of our splurges was a white strawberry plant called the Hula Berry.
Imagine my surprise today seeing a red berry in the planter!
I suggested the kids pick and cut it in half to see if it tasted like a pineapple strawberry, but Annabelle informed me that it was just a regular strawberry. Apparently the packaging said that the plants were 3/4 "Hula Berries," 1/4 regular strawberries.
And so, we wait for neighboring plants' white berries to come to fruition. Stay tuned.
