Iris has always been a people watcher. She stated this to me explicitly at age two. One of her favorite people to watch is Uncle Dan. She likes to watch him draw, especially when he is drawing landscapes. Rendering a landscape in watercolor is a magical act.

Later, at home, Gramma watches Iris knit.

Now & again, she lends a hand.

Knitting is not one of Iris’s favorite activities, but she is much better at it than I am!
