From an adventure tale to a story of kinship

My Overhead/Up-Above/who-knows-what-else-I’ve-called-it has gone through its (hopefully) final change. Because I recognize that the treehouse/adventure angle just isn’t where the heat is, I’m going to redo it from the beginning (which I had to do anyway, due to all of… Continue Reading →

In the Pictures: Start of Summer (Redo)

Early morning, and Olive and Fern are busily discussing the treehouse. Olive scouts out a likely tree. And then the sisters get to work. Willow arrives with some refreshments and all three sisters admire their handiwork. ******* Next week is… Continue Reading →
