We met in the gardens and had a little picnic. Everyone wore masks and we did our best to give each other a little breathing room. It felt like forever since the last time we saw our friends and definitely since March since we even attempted a play date. I think that the girls friendship grew with the lost time and they are excited we will make it a weekly event.
“Dancing among the flowers with dainty painted wings, flits the golden butterfly, joy to my heart she brings.”
We are spending every day nature bathing in the garden while we can. No one knows if rising case counts of covid 19 will close it again. For now I am greatly appreciative that it’s open again to the public.
The house got some landscaping. Since I decided it would be a fine outdoor play house we could incorporate plants and shells. It is so fun and inviting!
maiki’s nightly read alouds of Tove Jansson’s Moomin Valley books. He does voices and everything. Here is Moomin’s house.
Tent Life: shelter in place in tent! We bring the WiFi spot and relax in the great outdoors just blocks from home.
S’mores!
maiki is teaching himself to play the piano by ear. Emma and I are going to learn too.
I ordered a robe as an early birthday present. I like it very much.
