Summer Break Day #16
- I catch Yali trying to rescue a nest of baby birds at the Big House, holding their home carefully in his hand; we return the nest to the rose bush
- A sleepy Puck (after an overnight at his buddy’s house) works on his road bike with Uncle Elmer while we build a small fire to make smoke to keep the mosquitoes away from the new baby
- Yali and Patience sit in Francis’ old go-cart in the garage wearing bike helmets (Patience wears hers backwards) as they pretend to crash and careen around invisible corners
- Patience declares that she would like a pair of red shoes on the drive home, because her two new pairs of pink shoes, well… she’s moved on from pink shoes
