Happy Weekend everyone. This weekend view is full of farmers market flowers, babysitting the grand babies, Louis keeping watch in the yard and progress on a project.
Little Louis
Louis is such a little charmer. With his fancy feathers and hairdo he always makes us smile. I like to call him ‘Cutie Patootie Louis’ which I think he enjoys- he loves to do a little dance for you and will then grab a blueberry from your hand.
Did you know that roosters ‘dance’ for you? They will come over to you and put their wings down and hop a bit towards you in a little dance. Really they are trying to let you know that they are the ones in charge-like they do with other chickens. Our roosters are all very sweet boys who love eating right out of your hands and being picked up and held.
Farmers Market Flowers
I picked up some beautiful blooms this morning at the farmers market. Lots of pretty colors and some of my favorites tucked into the mix.
After that, we made a quick stop at the grocery store for some elements for dinner with the kids and I found a charming arrangement full of whites and sage colors to mix in. A good flower shopping day for sure!
Babysitting
It has been a busy week here- which is partly why the blog posts have been going up on the wrong days. On Monday, we babysat Juliette and Jionni all day while their parents went to check out some venues in Sonoma. We played, walked and did all kinds of fun things.
Juliette kept grandpa busy while I got in a lot of Jionni cuddle time. (hopefully Jionni’s photo will be in the right orientation today)
We didn’t get any extra babysitting time with Enzo last week – but hopefully his folks will decide to go on a date soon and we can spoil him extra too.
Porch Swing
Who has a porch swing? Is it something you use all the time and enjoy? I bumped into an old perfectly crusty one and have been considering it. It isn’t necessarily practical since we don’t really have a porch for it to go on but I have a few ideas of where it could land.
