The happenings seen through the windows of Studio Yellow are a source of fascination to the children. We witness sculptures being trucked in and out, school busses arriving with many visitors and of course the different birds and animals visiting the vicinity of our feeder. This week it was the ‘makeover’ happening to our beloved crabapple tree that grabbed the children’s attention.
Kaya – Brad is cutting the branches.
Eva – I don’t know why.
Kaya – Because he doesn’t want them to grow too tall and block the sidewalk.
Zack – He wants to cut it because the tree is too big.
However, Zack noticed Brad leave the area in a van.
Zack – He went away in the white van – to the work site. I don’t see him any more. Where did he go? It’s been a long time. Maybe he parked behind the museum. Maybe he is helping somebody. Maybe he is fixing a house that is broken. But Alice, he left his ladder. It’s making me think he’ll come back. He’s left his tools.
Some while later the van reappeared but kept on driving down the deCordova’s driveway.
Zack – Where has Brad gone?
During snack, forty minutes later, Zack was still watching out for Brad. His persistence paid off.
Zack – YAY! LOOK ALICE! HE CAME BACK.
We don’t know where Brad went but Zack was sure happy to see him back!
