A magical weekend . Part 3

Twas a rainy, summer Saturday. So we headed out to the library to make fairy houses, but made a calculating error so we ended up getting hot cocoas and muffins and delving into the first few chapters of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe at the top of a bookstore, overlooking the rainy waterfront and islands behind. It was a perfect error.

From there we went to the nursery so I could pick up some dripping flowers (the best kind) and the kids fed the chickens. And the sheep, the guinea pigs and the rabbits...because they're charmers.

Then we headed off to a rainy hike. We had intended to take a quick walk/hike but then the skies opened up and it poured on us and contrary to what you'd think, that made the hike oh so much longer and oh so much better. Because of frogs and salamanders. The kids were in creature heaven. In addition to running around and naming all the flora and fauna they know.
