finding our rythm

This morning my finishing carpenter and I were called out to the lil' farmhand's house to participate in some good old fashioned work bee activities.
At nearly four months old he is becoming increasingly more aware of
of all that happens around him.
When I see the determination on his little face to make every bounce better than the one before .. . my heart melts with love for this little guy.
After a bit, he tired and took the nap option and I decided to see the neighborhood.
We really want a fence like this. . .maybe this year it will happen.

This Camellia believes in spring.

This man made pond built to preserve the ecology is starting to look "for real".


I imagined this to be a ski jump. . .
or a water slide.

As I rounded the block and came around the house. . . .
there they were . ..


delighting in one another.
Mommy and son . ..
sharing some private joke.


In the meantime .. .
my finishing carpenter and his protege, were busy in the basement.

It's nearly done.


After a scrumptious lunch of grilled chicken and taco salad . .
and smoothies for dessert. . ..
we moseyed back to the farm.
The day is perfect, coffee out on the porch,
my gardener is in the flower beds . . .
I feel like I nearly have my rhythm back.
Have a wonderful day my friends.

  3. Good! Every day you'll be back into the swing of things.

    Your little grand is just adorable; is it possible that he's this big already? Wasn't he just born a coupla weeks ago? ;>

    Yes, Paska...ahhhh, the mere thought...I hope it fades or I'll be baking again this weekend. Yes. I actually bought lemons and oranges today. Why?

  6. How lovely! What a great way to spend part of your day. The fun being had between Mommy and son is precious. We so need to capture those moments! So glad you enjoyed your day building memories. I wonder if you rolled a marble down that hill just how far it would go? Just behind that 'little hill' in the distance is where we live. Sometimes I look out my window and wonder if you are enjoying Grammie time up there on the big hill. In the summer I walk the little hill. Next time I will look hard to see if I can see you...or maybe we will just meet at the bottom of one of the hills for coffee with wee ones in tow. How fun would that be!!!! Kathy

  13. Enjoyed all your photos, Lovella. I esp liked the one of mother and son..seems to be a favorite.
    I'm glad you're getting over the doldrums but time spent with that little cutie should do it!

  16. You really do know how to capture a moment. Beautiful pics. My Mom has always wanted that same fence. It's very nice.

  17. Sweet baby...
    love the fence, though I can see my 6 climbing on it and jumping, perhaps we will have to stick with a rock wall for now. Good old rocks.

    Hope you get your fence and glad you are feeling better!
