Three big boxes of parts arrived today: switches, resistors, and battery holders for the path lanterns, which we’ll build at the workshop on June 2nd; a couple of boards onto which I will build the bloom light controllers; and a pair of big plastic bowls which will serve as diffusers for the bloom lights. Not enough here to start actually building yet, but it’s fun watching it come together.

I’ve had a cold for the past couple of days. It’s mild, but I’m going camping this weekend out on John & Holly’s property in eastern Washington, and I’m not enthused about the idea of camping while ill. Oh, well, I’ll just have to rest and drink a lot of tea and hope for the best.
