intergenerational friends

 there may be a hard frost tonight,

so we are harvesting what we can.

my best friend franny is here 

from mount desert island, maine.

her granddaughter, frances, drove over from 

the university of new hampshire to spend some time with us.

frances is always up for a project, so we 

went out to clip some rose hips.

can you see frances behind the rose bush?

 we battled the prickers as best we could,

and managed to collect a nice bunch of the rose hips.

 peeking at the instructions here,

frances created a lovely wreath to take home

to her apartment in new hampshire.

franny and frances are beloved members of our extended family.

we are having a fine time catching up on things.

three generations of sisterhood.

later this afternoon we are

undertaking our first pie from the sister pie cookbook.

can you guess which pie we'll bake first?
