A Busy Week
Every year we get to take care of Gram and Grandpa's house while they are away. We spend our days feeding the pets (including this friendly mouse who has taken the bunnies' place at the tiny tea table and is being fed a carrot)...
enjoying the wildlife...
and the lambs...
visiting the anthills and tide pools down by the bay...
and climbing the beautiful old trees in the orchard.
What's this? A tomtegubben's door; I wonder if they are at home... You might be wondering, "What is a tomtegubben?" Well, I've never seen one, so I can't tell you. =)
Grandpa and Grandma have the best playground! We took rides in the weed wagon...
and climbed the bean trellis...
and played in the dirt.
This looks very familiar. Pea is on the left; her mama on the right (same dirt, a little while ago).
We had a grand week on the farm, full of sunshine and fresh air!
When I look at that last photo of Morgan and Raegan running down the hill, I think of the tv show Little House on the Prairie. Remember in the promo part it shows Laura and (I think) baby Carrie running down the hill. Baby Carrie falls down in the tall grass. Just thinkin'! :~}
They're so precious. And they look so healthy and robust and carefree. A thousand times better for them to be out in the great fresh air than to be cooped up indoors. Wonderful glimpse into happy childhood here....
I love the Lord who is the Master Gardener, my beautiful family, my humble home, and all things organic, natural, and ancient.
"I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. I am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." John 15: 1 & 5
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Amen

I enjoyed each adventure you shared during your week on the farm. Those two little sweethearts made the journey delightful!
