There is nothing like a hammock!

There is nothing like a hammock,

Kiki says while swinging back and forth

In the afternoon sun under the pear tree

Lucky you, I reply. 

I have been spending all day at school

While you did nothing at all

Pish-posh, says Kiki.

Or would you say that 

Counting strawberries is no maths?

And would you say that

Watching cloud pictures

Is no art lesson?

I want to reply something smart

But Kiki wiggles her ears

And eats another strawberry

Did you know, she then says,

That a bee needs to visit four million flowers

to fill three jars with honey?

Pish-posh, I say.

And then we listen to the flip-flip-flip of butterfly wings.

To the grasses. 

To the summery breeze.

To the bees. 

There is nothing like a hammock, I say.

Would you like to make your own hammock for your Kiki in the Meadow doll? 

Tomorrow I´ll share a little tutorial with you, so stay tuned...

Until then, enjoy summer!
