Cece had preschool pictures today. They were shot indoors, so in order to match the other kids' outdoor school pictures, I took a few of her in the driveway on a little stool. The cloudy day suddenly allowed just enough filtered sun through and for a couple of minutes we had perfect picture lighting.
We ate lunch at Wayside Inn and took a walk to see the nearby historic grist mill, school house (allegedly the origin of Mary of "Mary had a Little Lamb" fame), and church. We all decided we needed to play tourist in our own country more often!
