Charlotte's Web

I had promised Peter that we would read Charlotte's Web together when we were on furlough the week before Chris left for America. We faithfully put it in the suitcase and brought it to Riga and Vilnius, but the week just proved to be too much for us all. So we're reading it this week instead.

Of all the many wonderful and beautiful passages in this book, here's the one I feel most compelled to share:
"You have awfully hairy legs, Charlotte," said Wilbur, as the spider busily worked at her task.
"My legs are hairy for a good reason," replied Charlotte.

:-)

So that's that. Pretty profound, eh?
