Here's Tuesday's lunchbox. I had made something I've been wanting to try for awhile - a sort of Nora safe corn dog. They are actually mini corn bread muffins from Isa's cornbread recipe, with a hot dog slice in the middle. I have no idea if Nora actually likes these are not, since they don't send home the uneaten lunch. But given she likes corn bread a lot and hot dogs a lot, this is probably a safe bet. Also in the lunch are a broccoli and carrot melody, a 1/2 of a plum cut into pieces and two number cookies (2 & 5). Here it is packed with the ice pack, juice box and notes.
On another front, the tomatoes are coming along finally. They are suffering from some sort of leaf wilt which makes the plants look awful, but there are plenty of fruit on the branches, despite a theft last week of a clump of them. Psycho Squirrel is the prime suspect - we believe he knew that Karl was off premises. Here's Nora dutifully watering:

No matter how grouchy her father is, Nora keeps looking for fun things to do, like go outside or color the walls.
cute photos. The lunches amaze me, Maggie. Love Nora's garden shoes.
My mother also adores the photos, she was curious where Nora's going to pre-school.
Gardening can be fun at that age... shortly thereafter, of course, you become parental labor in the neverending "Weeding" brigade... then, I moved indoors and started reading.
But the water hose... well, that's a timeless good time!
