The hall is in desperate need of a paint job.  First I have to patch and sand all the dents and holes.  Between three kids growing up and a husband who likes to rearrange furniture the hallway has taken a beating- I could hardly believe the amount of patching I needed to make.  There was one section with dozens of little dents that were the same size and shape and I kept wondering what toy was used to make those.

My daughter's grade had their poetry cafe today.  The kids recited the poems outside for a group of their parents and grandparents.  She and two other girls chose a poem called The Sleepover by Betsy Franco, about not sleeping at a sleepover.  They dressed in pajamas, brought sleeping bags and lots of props.  My daughter also made this sign.

My husband and oldest unloaded the rest of the benches.  Two are going beside the barn.

I enjoy the pink baby grape leaves every spring.
