What's up, doc?

Here is some medical advice: if you get bit by a Lyme disease tick, stop scratching the stupid bite. Following my own advice, I'm posting these photos instead of itching at my shoulder.

Above: The fellows on a recent walk, Pip eating a cracker.
Above: Cousin D (too smart for Kindergarten, really), reading Green Eggs and Ham board/flip up book to Pip (with Pip's assistance lifting the flaps).
Above: Our new family umbrella for shading Pip while we walk since he categorically refuses to wear a hat.

The rest are just cute photos I took today of Pip with a CSA carrot. I thought I hated carrots, but I liked these. Talk about tasting again for the first time! Local organic sustainable farming rocks. Pip agrees. He pulled most of the leaves off this little carrot, then gnawed on it and played with it for awhile this morning.
