Katherine has been a big helper in our butterfly garden



but today...oh my....it started with her watering the plants. She was doing really well, so I left her alone for a few minutes and arrived back to find her kneeling in the mud. (fig. 1) I decided, hey, she's already messy...how bad can it get? She started making mud pies. She was having a merry old time baking up treats when I left my normally clean-freak child alone with the mud. (fig.2) I'm sure the veteran parents are all laughing at me now, knowing what happens next. Yes, fig. 3 is the swamp thing. Oh no, wait, that's my darling little baby covered in dirt. What am I going to do with her.
