Blue feet and happiness
(The title of this post is a riff on a good book by one of my favorite authors: Blue Shoes and Happiness by Alexander McCall Smith.)
Our children have been having a lot of fun outside, what with the warm, sunny weather and all. Next to our driveway (and unfortunately, just over the boundary line of our property) is a big mulberry tree. You guessed it: mulberries everywhere, mixed in with lots of defecating birds who enjoy feeding on the fruit. This does wonders for the appearance of our van, of course, but what is really funny is that the little ones are all stained blue in various places, especially their feet.
Wish I could take a chainsaw to that tree…
