Inside & Outside

Inside the house, a giant palm seed pod known as Big (harvested many moons ago by the eldest on a walk to the library and carried all the way home by himself) sails across the livingroom with the carrot, peapod and the doll Funny Legs (pattern from Hillary Lang's fantastic Wee Wonderfuls).


Outside, the rain of olive blossoms begins, coating chairs, ground, children--everything--with a dusty yellow pollen and small delicate white flowers. "It looks like snow," says the big guy.
