Country Escape: Part 2

Another country adventure! I helped out with my niece again while my sister celebrated her college graduation in Hawaii. We didn't have quite as much sun, or adventure, as Maddie had in Hawaii, but it was still a wonderful, relaxing week.

 Nothing says "summer in the country" quite like daisies.

Emmett, my mom's corgi. He's a great farm dog who takes pride in his work, the way a corgi should.

Garlic harvest

I made rhubarb hand pies with rhubarb from my mom's garden. They're maybe the prettiest things I've ever baked.

 Going for a walk along the logging road. We were nearly eaten alive by mosquitos!

Country Escape: Part 1

Life is never easy, but I must say that I have a pretty blessed one. My nannying job is done, probably forever. Sad as that may be (I miss those kids terribly!), it's left me open to new jobs and adventures, like visiting my mom and sisters in Olympia. A couple weeks ago, I stayed for a few days to help out while my sister was away at a crew tournament. These pictures were taken then. 

This is Donnie Dark Goat.

They are so cute! I wish they didn't all grow into big, stinky jerks.

 Tilly used to share George's lunch, but at 3, she's not so into sharing hers.

 Speaking of blessings, these trips wouldn't be possible without my husband. He stays home and works while I get to go laze around and eat crepes. If that's not love, I don't know what is. Thank you, Mr. Jordan.
