Old and New

Old:
These Newbery books were read earlier this spring, when Lily of the Valley decked my garden wall...

These books told me about the migration through Asia and Europe of Huns and Magyars and the rise of Atilla; the trials of an orphan from Barbados returning to colonial Connecticut:; the true story of a Dutch family and their Spanish matchlock gun during an Indian uprising in NYC; a boy, his cat, his collection of friends, and adventures in NYC; and a bratty prince, his "punishment stand-in," and their adventures and growing friendship outside the castle.

New:

The pattern is based on a watermelon baby cap. I've seen it does as a strawberry, a tomato, a pumpkin, and an apple. This is a squash. Maybe a blueberry next???
