My little market friend has been away at camp most of the summer

He was upset today that Addie seemed shy of him, but I think it is because he is taller.

He fed her some gladiolas, and they rekindled their friendship.

He told me he was going to the library, and the dogs and I walked him there.

On the way, he told me about a special six-leafed clover you can make tea with. He is insisting we find seeds for it next week and order them.

We heard a scream in the distance, he said, "Someone's in trouble."

He eyed a van and said, "That van looks suspicious."

He's soooo sweet. Such a sweet boy that has been through so much in his young years.

Many people see him as rambunctious and a bit much, but I can see he is toiling with complicated emotions.

He loves the world, people, nature...

I just hope he keeps connecting with people and doesn't lose that as he gets older. His family is lovely, but he will need the support.
