The sole Minnesota granddaughter got her 1-to 1 evening with Nana when the two of them created a palatial cardboard abode for a favorite doll or princess.

Wednesdays I have a standing playdate with the two Farmfamilies. We walked along the Rambling River Trail on what was effectively our first day of Spring, with warm sunshine and lots of green leaves to enjoy. Add a few rocks to toss into the creek, of course, plus a little time to spend on the playground slide. A few simple snacks and a bottle of water work pretty well to keep each young hiker going.

This grandson loves to lie down next to the dolphin tank and just watch the big creatures glide through the water, occasionally moving friskily, as if after something, but mostly just looking like they love to swim. Makes me think when I was a kid how I could easily immerse myself in watching something move, whether an ant or an elephant. Come to think of it I still do.... now it's mostly birds at the feeder.
