My dream lodging situation, found in a second hand copy of “British Heritage Travel” magazine.

Wearing a hat she made while making something new. As you do.

When left to my own devices at the library.

I periodically staff this little ceramics shop downtown. This afternoon I worked and the girls came with me. They were enthusiastic, then bored, then helpful, then independent and adventurous, and then back to bored again. It was a great experience for them, both the learning about how shops are run and practicing how to manage your own boredom!

After such a lovely afternoon yesterday the girls were begging for another day at the park. Luckily, some friends joined us and the frog and tadpole hunting could continue in earnest. What a day!

If I could order up the weather I would ask for days like today 90% of the time. It was a perfect day to hang at the park with friends.

While the girls were out with their grandparents today, I enjoyed a lovely afternoon with Anne and Matthew and Marilla.

Esme performed five numbers in her recital today. But first, lipstick.

Backstage view! All these dancers are R E A D Y for tomorrow’s recital!
