Mim's Secret Hideout

Mim and Zaya have convinced me
that I shouldn't prune this tree when I do the yearly spring manicure of the front lawn.




They've discovered a secret world inside the tree,
and dragged two little carpet swatches
to pad the ground and keep pine needles out of their jeans.

There's room for an explorer with his solar-powered flashlight

and, of course, room for adults too. It wouldn't surprise me it they didn't get the entire family under there for a picture this spring.
