So we are going on a month and a half now of the Covid-19 hanging over us and three weeks of being to to stay at home, and the results have been pretty predictable: lots of time to work on puzzles. I don't think I'm alone in this either. One of the places I've been getting my puzzles from lately is a free, neighborhood library in someones front yard. Until this thing started, the little bird house sized box was overflowing with puzzles and they even had a plastic tub next to it that was also full of puzzles. Now the tub is gone and the little house is down to one or two small ones. Its not just this quarantine either, apparently there's even a jigsaw puzzle renaissance going on.
This puzzle was from June 14, 2018. A simpler time when we all lived care free lives full of nothing but whatever our hearts desired. One thing that was not simple though were these damn Educa puzzles. I'll do a review or discussion about at the main companies some other time, but to preview, Educa is one of the more difficult ones. What's most frustrating about them though is that their images are fantastic and their quality is really high, but their piece are so similar and often times even fit together so when you're doing a anomalous area like the sky, you can easily get thrown off by putting pieces in the wrong spot. Some of my greatest all time puzzles though were from Educa though, so it's an uphill battle that is usually worth the struggle.
