Andre Segovia reborn?

Strider

Riding a bike with no pants on is easier than it sounds, apparently. Jonah tooled around the yard and through the garden yesterday on his Strider balance bike. So cool to see my baby ride a bike! Especially in his Highlander Mandress!

Highlander Mandress

Try not to be distracted by Jonah's awesome outfit and instead listen to his great animal sounds. However, with regards to the outfit, I shrunk a woman's sweater and cut off the sleeves creating a great outdoor layer that is warm while still allowing him to be diaper free. I call it the Highlander mandress. Oh, and pink used to be associated with boys as opposed to girls. It was a shade of red, which was considered masculine while blue was for girls, being related to the virgin mary. So there.

Ahhhhh Breitenbush

We enjoyed a trip to Breitenbush Resort in the Oregon Cascade mountains where I took an immersion course in Thai Massage, while Jason and Jonah took an immersion course in hot spring enjoyment. A very very good time was had by all. Please note the exquisitely made jacket and woolen vest, courtesy of Nanna.

Magical Pumpkin Patch

On a cool fall morning, we took a trip to Sunfield farm's magical pumpkin patch. We met goats, sheep, chickens, and found a sweet little Fern in a pile of pumpkins.

A Day in the Life

Just another day of play amongst piles of concrete rubble, stacks of freshly milled lumber, 100+ lb dogs, tools, and rainbow jump ropes. Life is good.

Viking Child?

Now that he's got furry boops, Jonah likes to wear them all the time. Even to bed. Even out marauding with wooden mallets.

Fabulous Fall

We are very fortunate to live on Blossom Lane which is a literal stone's throw from Heron's Pond, a beautiful open wetland meadowy grassland area. We enjoy walking and playing and being in the meadow, especially on afternoons when the light is just so lovely and golden. We have been blessed by both fall rains and sunshine in the last few weeks and our grass is greening up. Jonah has been loving tromping around in his new footwear; a pair of sheepskin boots and red rubber boots. He calls them "boops"

New Red Boots

I feel any additional commentary on this video is unnecessary.

Child Labor isn't so bad

We went berry picking in Sequim on a gorgeous sunny morning this week. Jonah's finally beginning to pull his weight or rather, eat his weight in berries. Summer ripe raspberries and blueberries and blackberries.....

Jonah and the Giant Peach

Summer is winding down here in the PNW and though I get a little melancholy that I have to start wearing shoes and socks again, the end of summer brings much happiness too. Happiness in the form of fruit! Our garden is bursting with fruits and vegetables and herbs; we are eating from it every day. Peaches, apples, rhubarb, lettuce, kale, scallions, NZ spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, raspberries, potatoes, parsley, tomatoes, beans, cilantro, basil, beets, fennel, oregano, thyme, sage, lavender, arugula, and if we are lucky, we'll be enjoying some peppers and eggplants too. Jonah loves to "help" me in the garden by pulling out weeds (lettuce) and digging new and interesting pathways often through the garden beds. Thank you Jonah.

Ha

this video is a bit long but its worth your time

Back to the Beach

It's 60 degrees and misting here in PT, so here are some flagler beach florida shots to warm your soul.
