Sosie is safely back home on the West Coast after 10 days with her mother in Alexandria. We look out at the back yard and we're reminded of the care she took with our pots and barberry bushes last spring. Today we go to the Renaissance Festival on a nice cool day; we'd hoped to take Sosie with us for a day of festive nonsense, but time flies when you're with your Mom, right? Happily, Lorlee's coming soon. So is winter.
