What's the story, Morning Glory? What's the word, Hummingbird? Would you like pink? Purple? Both?
Feel free to hide in the hollyhocks.
I'm sorry, but Pie Face is feeling a bit shy today.
Reaching for the sun and sky!
Here it is, August 19! I cut out the buntings for my classroom. I already have bunting hanging all over, but these are for the window and my desk.
Now, I have had Beatrix on the brain lately. Birdie has the book below, A Visual Guide to the World of Beatrix Potter. I love it! I borrowed it last night after we babysat the girls for a few hours. Earlier we had looked through it slowly, savoring all the newsy information and relishing the pictures. I couldn't sleep last night because I was thinking of all things BP. I got up and feasted on it again. One delightful page in the book mentioned that Beatrix's characters are always busy.
- they raise children
- they do housework
- they take in laundry
- they sell produce
- they work as gardeners
- they cook
- they work as gamekeepers
Aren't those delightful ways to work?
My mama sent me the tea cups, saucers, and spoons she and my sister used for the tea party at Guemes Island. I gathered my precious BP things and took a photograph for you.
Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle is my favorite. We both iron. I must make myself a blue and yellow striped skirt. It looks so nice on her.
Tomorrow the students arrive.
I will be back to let you know that the first day of school came and went.
Thank you for looking in on me today!
I wish you gardens, books, and bunnies.
