Hello everyone. My assessment went well. I don't know about marking, but it went in peace. The atmosphere was just like you would expect in higher education. That's a relief!
Tomorrow I will proof-read the essay one last time, and probably change the titles! Two copies to be printed, and then I will submit them either tomorrow or Friday. Then, back to normal. Luckily June is the quiet month for my day job. So I have a chance to catch up before it will get busier in July.
I packed this one in the large basket. Mike said it looks like a fish basket! Topaz checks it if it is edible.

| Topaz is wondering if she could eat it. |
 |
| I spotted this green butterfly, Brimstone shielding from light rain on the rose. |
 |
| My favourite Japanese acer. Gorgeous lime green! |
Pumpkin comes out every day, She has stopped laying eggs now. She potters around, and sleeps under the raspberry bushes.
 |
| All her feathers are beautiful now. |
 |
| Water on the leaves. Mike shot this one. I would have removed the weed leaf! |
The world looks much more beautiful once I have finished assessment!
Yes a weight from your shoulders.
ReplyDeleteI like that mottled green glaze effect on your "fish".
Hello Patricia. Indeed. I like the glaze too. It is barium blue. It makes dry green colour in reduction firing. Almost verdigris like. : )
DeleteHa Ha Glad things are lighter now Midori. Topaz is so cute . Love all the photos ...the yellow rose with butterfly ...very nice! Of course I always enjoy seeing Pumpkin. How old is she, did you mean she never lays eggs anymore? . Love water on leaves shot ...the weed is Mikes wabi sabi, like cracks can be beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Willow. I treated it as a job interview, and that worked well, too. : ) Pumpkin is 8. Yes, she stopped laying completely this year. So that's it. She is a very respected member of our family, and gets a nice retirement in the garden. I read your comment out to Mike. He looked most pleased. ; )
Deleteoh finally you get to relax and enjoy the garden, pumpkin is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteYes Linda. I am eager to go back to creation again! Pumpkin is super chicken! We treat her like a queen, and she behaves like one! : )
