treat!

Friday, December 16th, 2011

Haven and I dropped off a new, unwrapped toy at The Dairy Godmother, where they were collecting Toys for Tots. Haven didn’t really understand why she couldn’t have the toy, so she got a treat…which made it all better.

On the way to watch the neighborhood tree lighting. What a glorious night for Christmas carols, candy canes, Santa Claus, hot chocolate, cookies and Christmas tree lighting.

black squirrel

Monday, November 28th, 2011

I never saw black squirrels until I lived here. According to Wikipedia:

Eighteen Canadian Black squirrels were introduced to the Washington, D.C. area when they were released at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park near the beginning of the 20th century during President Theodore Roosevelt’s administration. Since their introduction, the population of black squirrels in Washington, Northern Virginia, and the surrounding communities of Washington D.C. in Maryland have slowly but steadily increased, and black squirrels now account for up to 25% of some squirrel populations in the area. However, their population can swell to an estimated 40% to 50% in certain locations, such as the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral.

growing up

Monday, November 14th, 2011

When I’m a grown up and have hair on my crotch I can feed Kendall. Right?

Only when I am grown up can I have a real phone. Then I can call Ellie and Margaret.
