This morning I'm wondering if homeschooled children get a sick day when the teacher is sick? Actually, it's nothing that bad, I'm just beginning to feel the achy cold that my children suffered through all last week.

Sunday was rainy and gray here, a good day for naps. I found myself tucked in the flannel sheets of my bed with a little girl and a loudly purring cat, who looks to me like she was quite happy to have slipped inside from the rain.

Saturday we all went over to my Grandpa Sayre's farm with my cousin Katie to take pictures of the new calves.

And while none of them were very cooperative with my camera, (we'll have to wait until Katie shares her pictures), I did get a few shots of the resident "pie-tester". Who felt it her duty to stick a shoe in each one, if you know what I mean.....

Alright, on to the good stuff.

Roz Streeten, the designer and illustrator of the Rosie Flo books
, sent me an email over the weekend. She shared this neat video of her girls (for whom the Rosie Flo name came from) working on the books. She also told me about the gallery for the books, and anyone who submits a colored illustration is included. There is some great inspiration in the gallery.

Now for the winners. Please send me an email with your mailing info, so I can pass it on to Chronicle. Thanks!
