Saturday, July 9: Mom's Birthday
-
Grapes for breakfast
-
A grass skirt bikini over the sleepsuit!
-
Unpacking the lego blocks
-
The pointer
-
The scholar in the buff
-
We sing "Happy Birthday" to Mom as the candles on the cake burn
brightly.
-
Mom cuts the cake (she did make a wish and she blew out
all the candles at once.)
-
The bell ringer
-
"Is there a question?"
-
The troll in the garden
-
The outhouse, now as a center of folksy charm
-
The forest primeval - this time with the flash
-
- and this time with no flash.
-
An old, old, dead tree, now covered with lichen
-
Dad put up a swing for Lara
-
The context - tomato plants and blackberry bushes
-
More tomato plants!
-
The magic talking bus
-
Papa and Lara dance to "Anton, Anton!"
-
Before dinner, Kathi brings Lara down to the lake.
-
Lara didn't want to eat corn-on-the-cob, and
she didn't want to eat kernels of corn cut off from the cob, but she definitely
wanted to chomp down on a (shall we say) previously eaten cob of corn.
-
The day is ending, time for a bath
