Our Little Mary

Clara spent the week in her idea of heaven, Little House camp! She made ice cream, learned the Virginia Reel and danced to fiddle music, cooked over a fire with edible wild greens and berries they'd foraged, whittled her own knitting needles and sewed a drawstring knitting bag...she loved it! And mama stayed up late sewing this "Mary dress" and bonnet and did a lot of laundry making sure it was ready each morning! Too bad there was no Little House books trivia contest, because let me tell you she'd trounce just about anyone.
