Fox

Bailey called last night after she and Sugar came home from an afterschool boat ride. They had putted into a little cove and thought they saw a yellow cat sunning itself on a grassy spot near the water. When they got closer, they realized it was a fox. The fox jumped up and bounded away, and then Bailey thought she saw a second fox chasing after it. It was the first time she had seen any so close.

Bailey's also very excited that book 7, "Captain Calliope and the Great Goateenies" has gone to press. She really likes the Goateenies. This weekend she, Sugar, and all the Keswicks are going to a little circus in Mineral. It's not the one that Captain Calliope joined, at least that's what he told. You never know what could happen, I told her.
