The guardians

 I pulled over to talk on the phone and they rushed to the fence to get between me and their cows. 

At Jake's there was a kinder welcome.

Charlie and I made an apple pie from (almost) scratch if you don’t count the pre-made crust that look like rolled up play doh. 

I've never done a crust from scratch. Boxed mixes are the limit of my baking skills and the store was out.

So I peeled, cut and measured while he wrote and illustrated the steps in a sketchbook. I amended the measurements the next day. Too much sugar!

When his Mom got home, his grades were tallied up and a big milestone was met and rewarded. 

By the time I return, it will probably be completed and I'll revisit my (apparently demonic) views on gluing projects permanently. 


Even a good AI watercolor had to start with a great photo. I'm missing my 35mm a little.
