  1. Such a gift!!! So clever and so true. That wonderful note upon a leaf for Little Mouse. And how you teased out those words.....another favorite activity, video and poem as well as notebook entry and musing. And that notebook from the amazing Irene.....oh how I can't wait to read her new book. I heard about it at the Barn. This is a highlight of this time for me and so many I am sure. Thank you again.
