One Fine Weekend

Some weekends just flow so beautifully that I find myself, on Sunday night, with my head resting on my pillow, filled with images of our time together, and I am reminded of how simple and yet how full our lives are.  Here is a peek into one such weekend:

 

We begin each day with duck care: feeding, watering, playing in puddles!

 

 

They are beauties!

 

 

 

We visit with friends who fill our bellies with a yummy, love-filled lunch...

 

 

 

We visit the Georgeson Botannical Garden, where panther presents his mama with a lovely boquet...

 

 ...we play in the fragrant chokecherry tree...

 

 We give thanks for the new life that has emerged after an excruciatingly looooong winter...

 

 

 

 

We play tag and hide-and-seek...

 

 

 

We notice the intricate artwork that has been donated to the garden...

 



We find goodies to bring home to the ducks...

 



 

 

 

We visit Wild Rose Farm to practice for the upcoming Summer Solstice Greek Pentathlon and Field Day event...

 

 

 

We pick up a truck-load of soil for our little family garden...

 

 

 

And we end our day by enjoying our spectacular view...

 

We are so incredibly blessed!

 



Make Way For...

 

Ducklings! The kids and I often fantasize about having a small farm.  Since we're renting, there's only so much we can do.  BUT!  We have lots of farmer friends, as well as some spontaneous ones -

While K. H. was flying-by-the-seat-of-her-pants through town one day, she ended up coming home with ducks!  She and the kids are on their way to visit friends, so we get to duck-sit!  What a perfect way to get a little taste of animal husbandry without having to fully commit...

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, flowers are blooming and we can finally wildcraft a salad for dinner (the ducks did a little foraging of their own)!




 A wonderfully wild salad topped off with some pickeld onions...with a little learning on the side!
