Max about town
¶ Monday, August 06, 2007 
 | Summer is traditionally when I catch up on all sorts of yard work. One of the rarest events for me is planting something new: I spend enough time keeping the stuff we've already got from taking over the world. However, we committed to this avocado a while back. It's big enough now, so I cleared some lawn, lay down tarp (ok, garbage bags) to kill off the grass, then replanted the tree. |

 | They finally finished fixing up Lincoln Park playground. Here's Max, exploring the new play structure, at last. |
 | This tie-dye floppy hat's been in the Dresner family for a while now, handed down from cousin to cousin. It still fits. |
 | Max likes playing "pillow" but he's getting a bit big to be a credible throw-cushion. |
 | Summer brings the library reading program. Not like he ever stops with the books (Woody's reading The Hobbit to him as I type this), but in summer he gets rewards. He picks 'em, too. |
 | A friend's birthday party. |
 | Another friend's birthday party. Some wag labelled the helicopter with a DEA/Green Harvest logo. |
 | Max, jamming with Woody at a goodbye party for our university friends. |
 | Modelling a just-completed knitting project: in spite of its current position, it's a hat. Max spotted the fuzzy yarn at the kitting shop and was immediately hooked, and yes, he picked the color after considerable deliberation. Woody did the knitting, though. |
 | The hat in action at a farewell party with a tree swing. Woody also knit the vest, by the way. The lei was from his post-Cinderella stash. |
