With some help from their Nonna, the kiddos discovered a tree at our favorite afternoon spot, Mount Tabor, a few visits ago. They are now stuck to it like glue each time we go to the park. With the recent trips to the ER, the climbing leaves me with a distinct sense of unease, but I fight it, and let them romp and run and climb. This particular tree reminds me of Shell Silverstein's. His base is large and round and seems to be made for small children. His trunk offers a couple places to sit, a nice area to rest your back, and even a slot for a cup or small bowl. I could nestle in there with my knitting and rest for hours if it weren't for the fear of impending disaster looming in Harvey's future. But, I should know better, this old tree is watching over him, keeping him safe, and softening up her rough parts for those unavoidable boy falls that he is surely going to take.

oh my sachi. just beautiful! norah and harvey are gorgeous :) and it's great that you seem to have found so many special outdoor places to frequent.
Good for you for not letting your fear detract from your time together! I don't have kids but I could just imagine myself spoiling their fun by not allowing them to climb the tree. You seem to have a good perspective on things!
Your Blue Sky Alpaca wrap is looking GORGEOUS, by the way! I love it!
i love the new header!
I am loving the exploration of nature that you are all experiencing, and what a beautiful environment to be a part of. Is that the lace you were afraid to knit with? Looks pretty remarkable so far. BTW...what ER visits?
