it was such a beautiful autumn day
lilah rode her bike 2 miles (!!!) to the botanic gardens
and after a well deserved ice cream
(scottish people eat ice cream no matter what the weather is like)
(seriously)
anyway, after a while
lilah ran towards a particularly beautiful tree
which was in its own garden bed
just on the other side of a huge section of grass
and its garden bed was a bit muddy
as it had been raining
(crazy, right?)
the day before and the day before and the day before
and before she knew it,
lilah was horizontal in the air
and flat on her back in the mud
this is after removing her whole "outer" layer of clothing
for the record:
lilah = not yet too keen on mud
it's scary
and cold
but we took a taxi home
and had a hot bath
and our magical washing machine took care of all the dirt on all the clothes
and the shoes, too!
