Maria grows more confident all the time about her ability to communicate with Lulu and Fanny. I was not sure about putting them in the barn tonight, but she went out to check on them and said they wanted to go in, and they did. And she knew. I am excited about her idea to sketch the different libraries we are visiting next week – Granville, Cobleskill, Salisbury, Conn., Richboro, Pa., Providence, R.I. (Rochambeau Branch), Osterville, Scituate, Mass., Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard. She will turn the sketches into potholders. How neat.
