Little Moments

Just a few shots of little moments from the past few weeks.

Winter morning light in my sewing room.
Marian taking a nap.
Pancakes with blackberry & honey syrup for breakfast. The berries we picked last year and froze – very much looking forward to this summer’s berry season!
…because every baby girl wears Carhartt overalls, right? (actually these are amazing for her crawling adventures. Keeps her knees protected and her clothes underneath clean!)
I recruited Jordan to help me do a bit of early spring cleaning…or perhaps its ‘nesting’ in my case. Beating out our (very filthy) braided wool rug. After this we also pressure washed it with the hose. It looks SO much better now.
Beans, rice and cornbread for lunch!
Recently Jordan’s right hand got rather badly burned. We treated it with an Amish method involving wrapping the hand in healing salve and burdock leaves. I’d never done this before so I was very glad to learn about it!
His hand looked pretty strange all wrapped up with leaves!
Marian attempting to throw rocks in the creek.
A really beautiful picture Jordan took while driving.
Jordan recently got my washing machine moved to the front porch so it would be easier to do small loads of laundry on these cold days. Yay!
Marian is quite fascinated by the whole process.
Wringing out a load of Marian’s little things.
Yes, I take pictures of our bathroom. Isn’t the morning light pretty, though?
Enjoying a warm sunny day outside with Marian.

 

Our cozy bedroom.
This was so sad and sweet. Marian was getting ‘droopy’ while riding on Dad’s shoulders when we were walking in the woods one morning. He laid her on his chest and told her she could sleep if she wanted to, and she just closed her eyes and didn’t move the rest of the walk! (she was even snoring!)
A breath-taking sunset we got to watch from our second story porch.
