Peter vs the safety gate

Here is a short video showing the child being creative.

It was a great safety gate for a while.

Everything's coming up ... roses?

Wow, I have posted a lot of videos lately. The thing I hate about videos on the web is that you have to watch them in real time, you can't scan them quickly and ignore the boring parts, like you are doing with what I am writing right now.

Spring is here. Crocuses then daffodils then tulips came up all over our yard, which continues to be miraculous to me. The dracunculus vulgaris has also reappeared, much to the dismay of my lovely wife.

She's a great wife, so I tolerate her idiosyncracies, which include a dislike of cars that catch on fire even a little bit and an inexplicable antipathy to giant flowers that smell like rotten meat and attract hordes of flies during the hottest days of the summer.

So, if anyone would like to adopt little Draco please come to our house with a shovel and a bucket.

Free range chickens

We got a new toy, about which I will blog in the fullness of time, but in the meanwhile here is a short movie of Peter with chickens and some little girls. We went to Fosterfields yesterday and had a great time.

There are a bunch more clips from the day, which you can see if you follow the link to the google vid.
