I took the kids to Bonner Park, the Childrens Museum , the library and Great Harvest this morning. Sylvia made a mask at the museum, which she had a good time modelling around the house, until all the feathers came off.
She even let "Paws", Grandma's dog (a birthday gift from Sylvia the previous year), model her mask. Sylvia and Paws had many adventures during our stay.
I never tired of looking at their beautiful yard. It is like the Garden of Eden - sans serpent.
Brad has worked hard to tidy up all the garden areas, and trim the orchard. It is a beautiful veiw, especially at sunrise and sunset. I loved tenting in the backyard. It got down to 40 degrees at night, without the Wisconsin mugginess. I awoke fresh and excited about life. Even though it reached the 90's during the day, the nights were always cool.
We couldn't believe that we were putting on sweatshirts and wool socks to huddle under blankets on the porch, when poor Sean back home was suffering through a heat wave that was actually killing people.
