Courtship

Alex, the son of my good friend Sara, is obviously more interested in Sylvia than she is in him at the beginning of our weekend together.
But the magic of books brings them together (on Halloween night); and by Sunday morning she's lost a lot of her skepticism!

Twins?

Our little friend Lena has the same dress; and the girls look alike too!

Stroll-n-Nap

I Ate Off the Apple Tree!

Sylvia's preschool visited Wasem's Orchard and picked a few ripe treasures.

Kritter Gitter

This summer we caught a woodchuck who was making itself at home under our deck...Sylvia asked, "Why did that woodchuck go into the cage?" Bait, my dear...bait. We drove out of town and released our furry friend into the wild.

Cheese!

Sylvia posed for a mini photo shoot for our friend Linda Diane Feldt's article on encouraging kids to eat wild and healthy foods in August.
