After lunch, Sarah and Matthew did some catching up on their homework. (Due to the timing of the eclipse, they were missing two weeks of school, right after spring break week, too.) We moved three of our chairs into the small amount of shade at the side of one of our tents. I read my book while they worked. While we were there, I noticed a plump speckled quail running along the "street". She ran right by the gentleman across the way who was likewise sitting in the shade of his tent reading.
