So this is Free Ranging (in the winter).

Okay...maybe clearing a swath of perfectly good grass was NOT a good idea. I imagined the girls would eat the grass...not dig to CHINA! Their feet were coated black with the soil they dug in. Later, when I held Ditzy, she reminded what it felt like to be six and allowed to dig in the dirt. My mama was never afraid to let us, her children, explore the world around us...Oddly, I feel the need to provide just the same nuturing to "my girls" as that which I recieved from my own mama. Gosh she's the best! BTW, Happy Birthday, MOM. Luv ya.
