Our children, circa 1840

Somehow, some way, my wife turned back the clock about 180 years and took our children to the park to sketch the flowers, the same way children spent time before there was television and video games and electricity and plastic.

And our children complied. They sat and sketched. My daughter came home and reported that she had a great time.

I don’t know where she gets these ideas, but the kids are lucky as hell to have her.
