Afternoon on the River

My neighbor E, who is in third grade, wanted to go on an adventure.  She had ridden her scooter down the street, and we were sitting on the grass in my front yard.  She taught me how to make a duck call with a blade of grass.  We shared her apple and peanut butter.  Then we went down to the college garden, where we drew sunflowers together.

Here are E's.  And then a very presidential hen came and visited us.

Next we hit the trail and clambered down a bank to sit on a rocky beach and draw amongst the mosquitos.

E jumped in and I waded in to get cool water on our bites.  On our way back to the car we drew a few more chickens.
