Toddlers and Scholars

The books are always more interesting on the other side.

Playing with tractors is common in our house.

We enjoyed a quiet day in London:

• watching the Buckeyes and the Irish win their football games
• a brunch with Grandpa and Grandma Miller
• a nice visit with friends Marty and Hannah
• planning this year’s Reformation festivities (we might go visit this)

We’re in Ohio for our third football rental weekend.

Reformation Day, celebrated October 31, is a mere month away. As you prepare to celebrate, put this recipe on the menu:

Medieval Salad
1 small head of butter lettuce
2 small heads hearts of romaine or red leaf lettuce1 C. water cress
¼ C. fresh mint leaves
¼ C. fresh tarragon leaves ½ C. flower petals (roses, primroses, nasturtiums, chive blossoms, violets, or calendulas)
1 cucumber pared and slices

Before you think I’ve completely apostasized, I should mention that the real Reformation Day of course is January 21. On that day you should eat lots of green bean casserole, cherry delight, and butter (with mashed potatoes on the side).
