On a routine exploration of the neighborhood today we were fortunate to happen upon a lovely and lonesome feather. This was Knox’s first time seeing one of these in the wild (as it were) and he was very enthusiastic to learn about it’s origin.
“It’s a thing from a bunny!” he chirped.
I explained to him that it came from a bird, the thought of which caused him to quiver with glee.
“What should we do with it Mom? Can I wear it?”
And then, like so many curious little boys that have come before him, he tucked his treasure in the best place he could think of.
“Do you think the lady bird is sad now Mom?
I’ll be very careful with her fedder and then she can just grow a new one.”
Next on the day’s nature exploring agenda:
Plant Life According to Knox
“Seeds (and plants) need Dirt, Water and Poison to grow.”
Two out of three- not too bad.
“Now, help me dig this hole, Mom”
“There. That’s my garden.”
My apologies to Dovie for the involuntary donation-
of her darling Bachelor’s Buttons…
…and her dirt.
We didn’t think you would mind too much.
