As promised...

...some updated pics of Frassy. She is like a tornado. She goes 100 mph over anything in her path and just as suddenly as it starts, it's gone. She is currently into coloring with colored pencils, or her favorite-mechanical pencils, wrapping up her stuffed animals/dolls and playing "baby", and checking the garden with Mommy. She was adorable this spring putting each little seed in each little hole. Of course, she could only do the big seeds, so we call them her beans and her squash. I'm like a proud mother over this garden. I have put a lot of sweat into each square foot. Some things have failed-onions and chives and peppers, and some have been huge successes-cucumbers and sweet corn. Little Frassy has seen every moment. Even someone who is 2 1/2 can appreciate the miracle of growth. She has seen these huge plants grow from dirt and tiny seeds. I think next year she will be even more enthralled. Unfortunately, this year's plantings are over-shadowed by her irrational fear of bugs...not the dark....not the boogey man....bugs. She will levitate into my arms at the sight of a butterfly! Oh well, next year she'll probably be afraid of dirt!
