Choice- (adj.) awesome, rad

This morning was cold and rainy again. No worries though, it gave me a good excuse to stay inside and work on my delinquent research paper. It took me a while to get focused and going, but then I settled in for about 4 hours of straight work (much needed for sure) and 2 hours of Maori language practice (Ko wai tenei kotiro mohio? – Who is this clever girl?). When Nelson came home and woke me out of my study stupor he reminded me I hadn’t been outside all day. Luckily the sun came out just in time for me to catch some nice post-rain pictures before sunset. I am definitely loving my new camera (thanks mom, Kris, and Joe). Here are some of my favorites from today. All were taken in our backyard in the Quaker Settlement.
