Neighbors

Magnolia watching Parker

Magnolia has discovered her neighbor Parker, the delightful little girl who lives next door. Since Magnolia and Parker have been couped up inside all winter they haven't really noticed each other. Now that Spring is approaching, us "cottage dwellers" have started moving back outdoors so we can breathe again. Now Magnolia and Parker can't get enough of each other. They have moved their own chair to each side of the fence so that they can talk, feed their dogs bones, and dig in the dirt together. This evening Parker showed Magnolia how you can make your dog dig holes in the garden, then take off you shoes to squish your toes in the dirt, then you can sit in the hole and cover yourself with dirt. I asked Parker what her favorite thing to do outside was and she told me that playing in the dirt is "definitely the best." She said Maggie will have a lot more fun if she can teach Boston how to dig like Hazel (Parker's dog). Zac and I weren't too sure about that suggestion.

Parker's so engaging and full of pure imagination and fun (many of you who have met her know this)! Maggie is so enthralled with her she doesn't even notice Zac and I.

We're so excited that Maggie's found a great little friend from her own backyard!
