we had a field trip to the new victory theatre to see tom sawyer. we waited downstairs for our other homeschooling friends to arrive and janet showed carol how to bind off her scarf that she has been working on . . for several years!
it's cashmere and truly beautiful and soft. she did a great job.
tom sawyer was produced by several theatre companies: kansas city repertory, actors' theatre of louisville, theatre of st. louis, and hartford stage. i had never seen that before . . so many theatres involved with a production.
we all liked the show, though i was glad chanda wasn't any younger. they bill the show for eight years old and up, but in my view it was too violent for anyone under . . 12! (injun joe is a scary character and he kills a man in a graveyard and haunts tom in a nightmare).
afterwards, janet and i walked home with the children along the high line. 
what an incredibly warm and beautiful day it was.
i enjoyed hearing the sparrows chirping . . much better than the raucous blue jay greetings i've been getting outside my bedroom window these early mornings.
at home morgana made tomato omelettes for lunch. oh! they were good! we even had orange juice with them today.
