The Yarrow Days Parade day is now only six sleeps away, and Henry is anxious to finish things up. He especially wanted to colour the water gun. He and Juniper went through our vast collection of paint to pick the perfect weapon colours. They knew where the brushes were stashed, and Juniper insisted she do the honour of opening the gallon cans. My job was to do the cutting while the two kids filled in the rest. Henry volunteered to jump up on the hood and get the upper reaches rather than tipping the gun down where he could easily reach. With only six days until Parade day, it’s a good thing we are almost done.
