The children have given up on digging the Erie Canal behind the barn, and yesterday they piled into the Radio Flyer wagon and told me they were traveling to Oregon!  (We've also been seeing a lot of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert "plays" around our home lately!)  History certainly has the power to capture the imagination.  I think much of it is due to delightful books!  When we come home from the library you'd think I'd brought home bags of sweets from the way the children pounce on my book bag!

I was thrilled to see George MacDonald appear in the coming weeks!  He is a favorite author if mine, and as of yesterday a favorite of Kaira's.
