One clover, and a bee. And revery.

Betty had a busy day today. She got her second Hep B shot. The doctor also told us that we are feeding her too much. She now weighs 8 lbs 12 oz, a gain of nearly 2 lbs in a month. We'd been worried about the breastfeeding and whether she was getting enough, and when we bottle feed her she often cries for more so we give it to her. Well, he told us not to do that--to give her pacifiers instead. Greedy baby! Then we went for a walk at Hampden-Sydney and took care of some errands. Betty met some of the library staff. And at home it was bath night. After her bath and her supper we went for a walk outside. Very peaceful if you can ignore the bugs. Here you can see in the background one of the apple trees as well as our failing garden and its ever-vigilant scarecrow.
