from the three newest members of the defoyd coop,

ruby, ginger and gertrude.
we are pretty smitten.

memorial day

a memorial day weekend spent here at home with

35+ different families over the course of 3 days. 

we bbq'd, marched, biked, played, roasted marshmallows, water gunned, 

ran barefoot, pledged allegiance and gave thanks 

for all those that leave their home, family and friends to fight and protect ours.

thankful tuesday, 5/19

tonight as the clouds parted and the sun was setting, 

i got to spend time all to myself planting corn and greens from the greenhouse. 

these delicate little lives that were once iitty bitty seeds, 

yet like the sun have broken through. 

so i watered the soil with tears of gratitude and 

counted my joy list on this most overdue thankful tuesday.  

• happy garden rows
• baby caterpillar hunting (minus poo)
• when women thrive launch in o'canada
• mr and daddy who runs the ship while i'm away
• the issues that bond us
• impromtu overnight with my brother and sister-in-law
• song requests and sing-a-longs with jane
• a full volvo with screaming, dancing kids

• sidelines with mama friends
• medway pride
• hen inspired stories with little authors

lax bits

a few bits from this spring on the lax field.

not exactly her thing - but proud of her for giving it a try.

way to go defoyd.

happy ending

some weekends are filled more than i'd like.

filled with all very good things...just full.

but when they end like this...then all is just as it should be.

hope you had a wonderful weekend too friends!
