Dearest Diary,

My eldest sweet Raspberry is having a tough time. Her beau, Robin Marine, is sending her all kinds of mixed signals. The poor sweet doesn’t quite know what to do with all her feelings, so I suggested she start painting.

Flamingo Rose and I got her an easel and set it up on the second-floor landing. She’s been up there with a brush in hand every afternoon.

With Amaranth and Gala around all the time exchanging googly eyes, I don’t blame her. It makes her think of Robin and what she’d love them both to be.

With sugar on top,
