It snowed a bit this evening, but has already stopped with no accumulation. My kids are disappointed of course. (but wait, it’s picking up again…maybe we’ll have a bit of snow on the ground yet.)
Beatrix stood in the snow happily catching flakes in her mouth for some time. Jonny I were afraid that Intruder would bite her, as he has a tendency to bite legs.
We warned her, but she assured us that he’s “her cat” and wouldn’t bite her. He didn’t.

Silas the baby met Silas the cat. The affection was mutual.
(remember?)
While giving math lessons, I opted to put down my knitting and clean out the pencil drawer instead.
The boys dragged a tire out of the woods and made a tire swing.
Why have we never had one of these before?
(In the pencil drawer I eliminated everything but pencils for the big kids, pencils for the littles, and we have these black felt tipped pens for drawing. And a few erasers of course. I salvaged as many of the chewed up used pencils as I could, adding new eraser caps. I like this little pencil sharpener the best, but we do have a couple with enclosed blades for smaller children. Our electric one broke and I am probably not going to buy a new one. Sharpening pencils is a nice activity.)
