Crocodile Soup

While looking at my soup cookbook, Ella found a picture of bok choy & shiitake soup and said this is crocodile soup. I asked her how to make crocodile soup. With my questioning, here is her unique recipe.

Find a crocodile in Grammy's river. (There are no crocodiles in our river.) Catch him with a fishing pole. Bake him in the oven for two minutes. Cut him into tiny pieces. Mix the crocodile with carrots, bananas, and smarties. Add some water. Cook for ten minutes. Add salt and pepper. Mix orange juice inside. Then more water inside. Put in bowl and eat em. It tastes good. We eat crocodile soup in the morning. Maddy likes crocodile soup. I like it too because I made it.

Awaiting Spring

I plant an amaryllis bulb for early blooms of beauty. Ella wears her swimming suit and pretends to go down water slides. Maddy uses the furniture as playground equipment perfecting her climbing skills. We are all eagerly awaiting spring.
