Noticing

/258 - Scenes From A Day

1&2: Ash discovered some Monarch caterpillars on the milkweed plants next to our house. The first thing Emily wanted to do when she got up (at 6am) this morning was go check on them. I was barely able to convince her that they probably wanted to sleep in. When we finally did go out she made sure all were accounted for and then pulled up her chair to make sure “they were staying safe.”

3: Had a lovely time with my guitar and norns on the porch after dinner. Stayed out as long as I could, but eventually the mosquitos won. Tried out 4 channel recording for the first time — using the line ins from norns and the built-in mics to capture all the environment sounds. Haven’t had a chance to listen yet, so hopefully things turned out ok.

4: Macrame! Very simple design, but decided not to go way overboard (at first) for once. Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed that I can nurse this spider plant back to health.

/187 - In the Air

Played around with some sounds tonight. It reminded me of summer, sitting outside at dusk, listening to the bugs.

/179 - Awake

Emily and I found this web of spiderlings in the process of hatching on her slide. We watched them for quite awhile and it was pretty fascinating. I’ve never seen anything like this close up before. No edits or effects on the video — it was pretty windy.
