<\/a>Before our little guest arrived, Anna decided to make coconut-balls (k\u00f3kosk\u00falur) from a recipe she got from a friend the day before. \u00a0(Oh, and during an epically productive day the day before that, Anna got her hair cut short to make combing it easier.)<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Our visitor hanging out on one of the swings while the two siblings dig into the sand.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n
<\/a>The fall colors were busy being brilliant!<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>A red hedge overlooking some green grass.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>It’s hard to get flattering images of people on swings.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Anna giving her cousin a push.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Ok, I think I want to buy a macro lens. Any recommendations? \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0I’m a Canon person…<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>The white berries are always pretty.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Colors colors everywhere!<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>One part seems to be in denial about winter approaching.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Our guest with her very precious cat stuffed in her hood so that she could use both hands to swing.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Time to go inside and…<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>… eat some bread and…<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>… coconut-balls!<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>The recipe for future reference. \u00a0It contains butter, sugar, oatmeal, cocoa, vanilla extract, coffee, and coconut flakes.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>After out little visitor had gone back to her temporary home-base, I went out again to take more leafy pictures.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>In transition.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>The last of the roses in our backyard.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Another marker for the epically productive Friday we had: Anna got a new bike (on sale), with 26 inch tires, because she’d outgrown her 24 inch bike. Bjarki was a little bummed he didn’t get a new bike too, because he’s stuck with his sister’s ‘leftovers’. Poor thing… \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

My uncle and his wife went on a childless trip for a few days, and we agreed to entertain their younger cub for a Sunday afternoon to give the other caretakers a bit of a break.<\/p>\n
