It has been all flowers and fevers around here. The children and I have had a cold, then Ruby had a double ear infection. Today John has a fever and took a nap on a doormat. Somehow we haven't missed a day of school or slowed down. Today we went to the opening of our farmer's market. I've been dreaming of baby arugula for many cold months. We heard some music and saw a tiny baby goat. Over at the school, we worked on our herb garden in the warm sun. I'm betting John will need a trip to the doctor's office tomorrow. Before bed he absolutely hallucinated the location of the toilet and peed on the living room wall. Oh, the beauty of it all.

My friend made this little fairy and two others for John and Ella. She sells them in her etsy shop, Dancing Sky. Run, run over there. They are tiny and perfect with their hand embroidery and wool hair.
