working from home

I could do a 360 view of the kitchen, aka indoor garden, aka workspace for two adults, but then you’d see the overflowing recycling, the dirty dishes, and the double column list on the refrigerator of household chores to take care of … chores that despite staying at home we still haven’t completed. Yet somehow I manage to make it to the grocery store and each time return with more flowers. Hmmmm … priorities! 🙂
through rippled glass

For years I’ve been lucky enough to live in a Victorian house that has a window with old glass producing a rippled view if you stand in just the right place. I’ve watched the seasons change through this window. This is Spring … or at least Spring in my neighborhood … lots of branches with buds waiting to open. Today’s downpour is probably something the trees and shrubs need though I would have preferred a bit more sunshine. I’ll keep my camera handy for when the blooms burst forth.

… eggs, as many a person has heard. I accidentally hoarded eggs. Thank goodness Steve makes a great omelette.

swirly mist or …

… vortex shedding in action. Ahem. In fluid dynamics, vortex shedding is an oscillating flow that takes place when a fluid, in this case water droplets from an humidifier, flows past a bluff body, which in this case I think are the leaves of the plants I have surrounding the humidifier. Hmmm. Anyway, when you’re stuck inside with a plasma physicist … well, I’ve learned that there are things I see as beautiful … and he does too … but he’s seeing something completely different from what I’m seeing and so I have learned when I see some cool effect to drag him away from whatever he is doing, point at my cool thing and ask, “So what’s happening here?” And in this case, he said matter of factly, “Oh, I think that’s vortex shedding. See the vortices forming there …oh, and over there …!”
And so it goes in our household at the moment. 🙂
