Here in Richmond things are ramping up with Covid-19. Tomorrow I’m going to get out the Easter things, but I’m also putting the Christmas candles back in the windows in the hopes they will give us all some comfort ... and hope. Anybody else in with this idea? #stayhome and #staysafe #washyourhands #begoodneighbors (at Laburnum Park Historic District) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-gNeR1g_qw/?igshid=v608rsm5cj5m

Goldilocks Explained

Mama Bear, Papa Bear, and Baby Bear have always enjoyed taking walks in the forest. Baby Bear would often go ahead of his parents and chase rabbits and squirrels.  But, on this particular day, months before Goldilocks invited herself into their home, the Bear family was out in the forest taking their usual walk and enjoying the beautiful weather they were having. As usual, Baby Bear was ahead scaring whatever animal he saw into hiding and hoping he could find some honey. But, as usual he would never catch the rabbits or the squirrels. To him it was just another day chasing animals in the forest.

On this day, Mama Bear and Papa Bear heard a splash, followed by a girl laughing.  They looked to where the sound came from and saw that same little girl they had seen days ago trying to hunt rabbits with the bow and arrow! She was in the lake swimming. “I may not be better than my brother Gabriel at climbing trees, or hunting, or fishing, but I’m definitely the better swimmer!” she announced happily to herself.

Mama Bear and Papa Bear listened to the little girl and realized that the past few times they’ve seen her, she was often by herself. They’ve never seen her with her brother. Mama Bear and Papa Bear looked at each other and understood that this little girl was lonely. Baby Bear at least had them for company and didn’t mind chasing the animals in the forest, but what this little girl wanted was some attention from her family. “No wonder she works so hard,” said Mama Bear.

“Yep,” agreed Papa Bear.
