we plant
we nourish
we shop
and
we learn
from the farmers at the market
we become farmers with our own market.

climbing.
unlocked the door
with the secret key
climbed way up high
into the secret tower
with
the kinders
up and up and up
the
spiral staircase
with
stone walls
tiny windows
brave hearts
and
a wondrous view from the top.
—
“a well-ordered life is like climbing a tower;
the view halfway up is better than the view from the base,
and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands.”

learn as you go.
and
so it begins
writing a book with two of the grandies

have a story
and

where it will go
the possibilities are endless
and
that is what makes it so exciting.

“writing is an exploration.
you start from nothing and learn as you go.”

spies.
it’s naptime
in the kinder room
one ‘sleeps’ in the cot garage
and
a hand reaches out
one ‘sleeps’ outside
barely on her cot
and
sees the signal
secret notes
get passed
in silence
letters
and
numbers
and
pictures
and
very, very
important scribbles
of all kinds.
let the spy games begin.
—

but in reality, i don’t think i’d fare very well.
I didn't have my glasses on....
