No Rain!!!!

Our temporary backyard is huge, fenced, and filled with wonderous hidden toys (from the past family...) and fuschia. our friend Mara showed Fair how she used to turn the flowers into little ballerinas...

fair and whitman had some interesting ways of playing with the "ballerinas"

with their catapult that they found under a bush!!!!

Portland!!!

I've been missing in action, for the past month due to our upheaval from the mid-west and our planting back in portland. Michael , the kids and I are really happy to be in portland. We are house sitting a beautiful place right outside of Portland, in a very woody riverside area. I'm still working on tracking down a good sewing machine... I had to hand mine over to a friend, since we traveled by train. Our laptop died and we are not hooked up to the internet at home, so soon I will have pictures and more time to elaborate on our travels and current adventures. until then... xoxoxoxo
