Pulguito: Mommy, mommy, my owie is bleeding!
Me: Where?
PUlguito: It’s just bleeding a little bit.
Me: Where?
Pulguito: There, see that little dot. Right there.
Me: Where?
…
Me: Oh, that.
I lean over to kiss it.
Pulguito: NOOOOO!!!!
Me: What?
Pulguito: It needs a band-aid.
Me: We don’t have any little band-aids.
Pulguito: Yes, we do.
And he shows me.
Me: Hold still; it’s so little I don’t want to miss it.

Pulguito is now bandaged and off playing.

The owie/blood was smaller than a sharpened pencil tip.

Pretty cool, what?

Of course, now it’s going to take me even longer to get pictures printed.

Tutorial; it’s pretty easy.

The penguin progresses. The pattern is traced and fitted; I lengthened the legs by 2 inchs (5 cm). My fabric is prewashed & dried. I am checking to see if I have enough fabric in the image to the left.

I sewed things out of order , so the yellow bill is ready to go.

Not great pix. I couldn’t use a flash or a tripod.

Who knew!

This masterpiece was on display outside of the Ark Chinese Restaurant on Park in Alameda.

I’m so proud of myself.

Pears being cleaned.

Pretty, pretty pear.

Pretty inside, too.

Ready for the crock pot.

Some pretty, some not so pretty.

In the “bath”.

Pretty.

Pretty, pretty.

Pretty inside. Well, this one is.

In the crockpot.

The apples left over.
Wormfree?

I actually harvested pears and apples this year. I forget the pear type, but the apples are Arkansas Black.

Pulguito’s penguin costume has 15 pieces!

I’m so late starting it. I usually have the costume finished by early October.

I like this one of Jon dunking Pulguito.

That’s it for the NH pix.

Pulguito kept calling Linda by Kathy’s name,
or he’d call her “the little one”.

I think he called Kathy Kathy, too.

He knew Brian’s name, and
I think he knew Trisha’s.

The focus wasn’t great, but Pulguito caught everyone with very nice smiles.
