Day 5 of @folktaleweek #charm

This was a tricky one for me, so I decided to go with a simple 4 leaf clover for good luck.

Aaliyah loves her little garden. Willa doesn’t like to get dirty but she’ll still guard close by. You never know when a spider might appear!

Aaliyah is terrified of spiders but it’s a good thing she’s got Willa to protect her. Brave little puppy!

Just sitting here guarding the leaves, sticks and grass to get our den warm for the winter.

It’s the first Thursday of the month which means #kidlitpostcardday #kidlitpostcard
