I work outdoors. I teach children about slugs, snails, birds, trees, forests, and streams, among other things. Every so often I have a group that blows me away. They are excited about every single thing.

The other day, my daughter was in the kitchen. I heard a "Mom, can you come here and get the flour, please?" and my heart stopped momentarily, mostly because I was a little concerned that there was now flour covering the floor.

I hid myself downstairs tonight. Some might say this was due to a particularly nasty bout of "I'm a four-year-old-with-attitude," but it was actually due to my work on a Secret Project. The secret project is something that my daughter and I do every year.

Yippee! As we looked at the raindrops that landed with a decided plunk on our windshield yesterday, my daughter and I both realized that it was very, very close to snowing. Since we don't generally get a lot of snow here in the Pacific Northwest, the first snowfall is an exciting event.

When my grandfather was ill, I wrote him letters. He was always the master of business finance, since he owned his own business for more than half a century. In my last letter to him, I mentioned that I had just instituted an allowance for my two and a half year old.

My daughter loves her dollies. I am proud to say that she also loves her Lego, planes, fire trucks and her parking garage. A well-balanced kid, she is. Last weekend, we got lovely and loving stares at a craft fair as she cradled yet another doll with a homemade knitted sweater.
