The Disappearing Plant

Dear Mates,

We saw a baby deer on the trail while riding bikes. It was the size of a dog with little white dots all over it. It was bouncing around and ran away, I think we scared it.

My mom and dad put in new shelves in the kitchen and we got to help out sanding them. It was fun, but only for a little while, then it was hard. My mom took pictures of Maddie and me. She is crazy.

A couple of days ago, one of our plants in the garden disappeared. There were no bunny tracks or deer tracks. Gracie thought that a bird swooped down and pulled it out. It was a mystery of what happen to our little plant. Then, yesterday, Papa saw a tunnel near the garden. He said it was a gopher.

Did you know that gophers can tunnel under gardens and pull down into the ground a whole plant at one time?!

Today there is a Farmers Market that we like to go to. There are two kids there that we play pretend fighting with. Last week we got to ride our bikes all the way to the market. It was fun. Welp, that’s all. Here is a picture of us helping out.

love you Gracie & Maddie
