magic happens



The ocean reminds us of magic.  In the waves.  In rocks polished 
smooth.  In searching with my son for sea glass.  In knowing that
the gray whale sighted hours earlier may be swimming unseen
nearby.  In countless moments that become sweet memories.  
Magic happens...pay attention.

1500 miles to spring



Had to travel 1500 miles from Wisconsin to Washington state to find spring...and
a hug from my Ian is the cherry on top!  Skagit County Tulip Festival with the 
Olympic Mountains as a backdrop!  πŸŒ·πŸŒ·πŸŒ·πŸŒ·πŸŒ·

Hey! Hay!



Our baby goats, Benny & Joon are 8 months old...most of their days
have been in the snow.  Can hardly wait until they meet warm days &
green grass.  That's Chippewa on the bridge.


tiptoeing



Dawn & dusk feel like a whisper to me.  Our home is quietly lit.
As I travel from room to room, I feel like I am gently tiptoeing...
careful not to disturb the peaceful surround.  This is my favorite
moment at the farm.  It is free of expectations.

I crave quiet...



Today the farm is quiet.  Spring snow arrived last night, so it
feels that this Saturday is for tucking in.  A hot cup of coffee, 
a warm blanket, a soft kitten nose, a good read is all I can find 
on my "to do" list.   

I did promise Polly a kitten or goat picture, so I am sending these 
sweet Daisy Grace whiskers her way. πŸ’™

May this weekend provide for you what you need.  
Today, I just crave quiet.

bunnies

Yes, it is true that rabbits multiply ever so quickly - as was the
case with this collection of German Easter candy containers.
Created by a home craft industry in the 1890s, they were made
to hold candy, with the head made as a little cover.  Just this
year, several more of these bunnies have hopped home to our farm.

This large bunny started our collection.  I had always coveted these
containers, but they were generally priced outside of my budget.
So, when I spied this one in a waste basket at a thrift sale, I was 
quick to ask if I might lift her out and bring her home.  

This sweet sitting bunny was my most recent find.  I never fuss
if they have repair issues....that just meant a child had loved them.

This sweet bunny is smaller...this little friend has such a 
purposeful expression.  This one was an auction find.

These two bunnies were found in recent months at antique stores
for a reasonable price...if I find one for less than $30, it is mine!

There they all are on a bookshelf in our living room...my dear
little "hutch" of bunnies. πŸ‡πŸ’Œ

"pick me"




Even as I begin to see the finish line in a long career in Early Care & 
Education, I will always identify first & foremost as a nursery school
teacher.  As a teacher, my year was informed by the celebrations & 
holidays & seasons of the children that I spent my days with.  I still
decorate my house as if it were a giant living bulletin board from my
teaching days.  So this year, with St. Patrick's Day, Spring & Easter all
simultaneously saying, "pick me"...I blended green & bunnies & tucked
in eggs.  I could never pick a favorite.

❤️🐱❤️



I live in this sweet world of kittens & baby goats & vintage charm.
It truly is my beloved haven.  When the world talks back too much,
I know I am blessed to have a safe place to retreat to.  A place where
kittens follow you and goats call to you across the farm yard. A place
where I can try to make sense of things.  A place where kindness
always wins & compassion is the law.  ❤️
