hello from sunday evening

it was one of those days where time stretched.

expanded.

became exactly how much we needed.

the cows are as curious as ever.

the farmers in the neighborhood are harvesting their wheat and rye and barley.

sophus (formerly known as sophia) escaped and ran around outside the cage.

we rode the horse and bonded with the cat.

husband has started another building project.

a deluxe pig shed. with an attic.

it's right next to the chickens.

and they think he's just hanging out, keeping them company.

i'm personally thinking of squeezing them, to make them lay some eggs.

it's hard waiting for them to begin.

there was time to paint a snail -

with rather a modern feel.

raspberries were picked and preserved (with homemade vanilla).

and rosehip syrup was made -

for those vitamin c hits we'll need next winter.

homework is done.
everyone's bathed.
we've had a dose of kitchen inspiration.
we're ready to face a new week.

so cool: lost library project
baking for bunnies.
loving these thoughts on inspiration and breaking with old ways of being.
and feeling inspired by thoughts of a place like this.
