Fishing for broccoli and other fun stuff

Today was play day at Robert and Teresa's house-- hooray! This is exciting news, not only because we haven't seen Robert (or any other kids besides our neighbors, for that matter) since getting our floors done at Eastertime; but also because going to Robert's means getting to do exciting stuff with him like chasing, hopping, playing with different, exciting toys, as well as playing in the woods in the Springtime.

Helena, Ada, and Paul came over too, and all of us got to go down to the edge of the pond and use sticks to "fish for broccoli". That's what Robert calls it when he pulls pieces of green pond growth out of the water. It's easier to catch than fish, but just as exciting! It was a great day of play.

Nora and I had to head home for a nap shortly after lunchtime, but Fiona got to stick around for a nice walk, wildflower gathering session, and mushroom hunt afterwards. Thanks for the lift, Robert and Teresa! Springtime is a great time to explore with friends-- even when not one single morel can be found.
