I don't really like wearing hats but I know I have to protect my fair skin from the sun. I can't put sun screen on my head and my hair is impossibly thin. Hence the kippah I knit, thanks to Patricia's idea on Ravelry. 
Mexico is such a country of contrasts. I love these planters for ferns!

First View of the Day from K and G's casita
And she has her own little digital camera to snap Zadie!
Dylan loves to choose oranges, over and over, and take them to adults to peel. He then hands each section to that adult to eat. It is a very focused activity. Here he has pulled over a chair to climb up to the counter to get his project going.
Twin Twizzletop hats on Gramily and 'Fia.
Bedtime for Dylan and hugs for Gramily
Zadie reads Gramily's old storybook to Sophia.
Dad Ethan reads the very same book to Sophia that was Emmy Lou's/Gramily's in 1948.
Two quotes that are unrelated to these photos:
From my friend, Jan, I learned that it is absolutely necessary to have a hood on one's jacket in this environment and that you can go outside every single day if you are dressed appropriately. Yesterday I would have shunned any outdoor activity as it was -20 F when I got up, BUT Jan convinced me it was perfectly fine for snow shoeing on Lake Pocasset. (By the time we went, it was a tropical +20 F!) It was heavenly and I almost forgot that I professed to like California weather better than Maine's.
Maggie was a member of SNCC in the sixties and marched in Alabama. In more recent years she has worked to combat racism in a special program at Harvard, focused on elementary school children. Much of her life has been devoted to the cause. Now she is waging a personal battle with her third bout of cancer. That I could be with her meant everything to me. Oh, JUBILATION!
"What a CHAPEAU!" said Ms. Mag. You know how to do it, Aretha.
On MLK day, Karen and I went to the MFA and saw (among other things) Indian bed curtains from a stately English home. How about the teeth on this hund??
Three Bunnies are about as cute as mifflettes.
My own little bunny/granddaughter is about as cute as you can get. I was pleased to initiate the wearing of this combo of clothes I got her for her birthday on eBay. The top and pants were advertised as being a play outfit, and the skirt is pure wiggle-walk from Oilily.
She READS! Well, not actually the text in front of her, but she utters streams of speech while pointing to the words in front of her.
I'm smitten.
Sorry I missed getting Wendy and Barbara here too, as we had a super day at an urban thrift store where Barbara stocks up on gorgeous European men's shirts for her quilt-making.
Ethan worked a lot of the day on snow removal. I think he enjoys it, but no matter, as it must be done.
Cindy's wore her hat for this photo, but mostly she worked in the kitchen, starting with waffles in the morning, perogies for lunch, homemade cinnamon bread and chicken with dumplings for dinner. YUM! 
Sophia now likes the formerly rejected Twizzletops hat I knit for her last spring. 
A real cowgirl with her hat and horse from Auntie Betsey: 
T has always claimed he wanted to be Peter Pan and never grow up. When I stumbled on this hat at the Happy Dragon Thrift Store in Los Gatos, I couldn't resist bringing it home to him.
