Odd(bodkins) Light

Shifting from dark and glowering to bright and golden, the sky just couldn't decide which to be, so it settled on both at once.

The children didn't mind and played the way carefree beings do.  (No longer as carefree, I'm still free to hide behind a bush and take snapshots.  So I did.)

There's a Mildred body wrapped up in that blue cocoon.

All seven in one frame!   That's a feat worth noting.

Luci gathers chamomile for winter teas.

They count the yellow swallowtail caterpillars devouring our baby dill plants (there were over a dozen!).  Under my orders, they transferred them to Queen Anne's Lace so we'd have dill for pickle-making.
