Walking with the orphans

Something is being born...I have no idea what this plant is - looks alien.  The pinkables are  blossoming from trees. Pink is always first it seems.
 

Orphans wanted to go to the little library on the street- they had  a book in mind something like " All of the candy for a penny"... that book does not exist.  There are no library books with candy in them,  disappointing.

There was a tiny painting which was nice, and a string of light up hearts, which made the library not a total loss. You can see by the donated books what sort of neighborhood we live in....

Down the street gnomes were playing "Chest". Orphans helped them both to win. They have their own rules. Everyone is a winner and no one dies.

The other gnome who is a very old man, still trying to get his wheel barrow across the grass- been doing it for years...had to stop the orphans for a quick conversation  about the admirable qualities of Sisyphus and how strong he must have been. The orphans did agree.

The man on the little tractor thing gave the girls a ride. He then said that they were adorable and they said back to him- "No  YOU are!!!"

Riding the no- pooping- dog that is tethered to my friends  berm. It is an old dog - the ride was not as fast as one would like.

A glove was found, Maple tried it on , determined it was more of a sleeping bag than a glove, which she did not need. It was left behind for maybe a mouse or a squirrel to use.

Mail boxes are endless fun, Lots of sliding. Lots of climbing and hiding. They must have spent at least 7 seconds on this one alone!

Then they found the  fence post with the wonky mirror. They asked me to take it home with me so that they could have it always.  "No" I said ,"It belongs to the owner". We will just have to walk to the fence post more often.

They walked on without the mirror, without the glove, but found a fancy stick to bring along. This is the stick of "because I said so." They claim it has mighty  powers. I did agree that it has  deportment and authority. Orphans looked amused/satisfied as they generally do. 

I have not walked for so long I have forgotten how to put one foot in front of the other- and sort of stumble lurch  and trip forward. It is shameful- I must get out and use these things. legs? Yeah, legs. and the paddle things, feet? I think they are. I managed to find my walking shoes though, that is a plus. Tomorrow is another day , I must get out and walk. If it is not raining tomorrow I will walk far- memory will return and I will cease looking like the ministry of silly walks.  I have made that promise to myself.
