I can smell the rain.

It was a very busy day. I wrote before the sun was up. ​

Then Kai and Kenya (Kid A and YaYa)  finished work on Kenya's stopmotion movie. They worked on one with friends who came over yesterday. A school project- they did it from beginning to end, but when we watched it, we saw things that needed to be fixed. The camera moved too much- there was too much extra room visible. So Kenya got back to work right away and made another movie. She shot it all herself and I showed her how to adjust photo levels. Kai did some sound engineering this morning.

I'm very proud of them.​

We showed it to Chinua from far away.​

Then lunch and Thai class, ​some swimming, dinner. I didn't get to my email today. (I'm sorry.)

I read to everyone and lastly we had a big wind and rain storm with thunder and lightning. In the dark I climbed on top of a chair that was stacked on a table to reach our last chicken, who was swaying wildly in a high branch of our tree. He sleeps up there normally, but tonight we made him cozy in his own chicken hotel room.​ Spoiled chicken.

It was very hot this morning and now it is cool with lightning in the distance. All my people chickens are accounted for and in their beds, snoring ​softly

and I
am
going
to
bed.​
