He Is Officially A Keeper!


I decided not to add to the busy-ness of the Weatherford household today as not only were Vergil's parents getting in but it was also the day Diana made her postpartum visit and also the day the doctor came by to check out Levon. Can you believe that in this day and time there is a doctor who will actually come to the house of home birth families to give the baby his or her first check-up there? This doctor does. And he always says the same thing which is, "He's a keeper. Start him on probiotics."
I love that.

Anyway, it was a perfect day to be outside, cool and a bit overcast and so I cleaned out the hen house and put the poopy hay in the garden and then I decided to look for the eggs that I know Dottie and Darla and Violet are laying somewhere. I am only getting eggs from Lucy and Honey and Nicey and that ain't right. I did not find the eggs but I did realize that my next-door neighbor seems to have acquired about one million new chickens. See above.
I mean, she has a LOT of birds.
I also saw an older kitten and I'm pretty sure it's feral and I'm glad it hasn't come over here to meow and beg for food because we all know what would happen and I already have an insane cat who no doubt had a traumatic childhood.

Then I got on my knees in the garden and weeded and planted some onions from last year that have started sprouting and weeded and thinned the mustards, the beets, and the carrots. Doesn't sound like much but it took me all afternoon. I also reseeded a few places in the carrot row where either nothing came up or else something ate what did.

Isn't this fascinating?

Okay. Let's talk about Louis CK's penis.
In what universe would he think that random women would just love to see it and what he can do with it?
I knew this announcement was coming because the rumors of his behavior have been bouncing about for a long time. At least he admitted that the accusations are true and admitted that his actions had no doubt hurt these women (I feel certain that there are far more than the original five who came forward) and said that he feels remorseful but he didn't say he was sorry.
You know, I sort of thought that Louis CK was one of the good ones. I mean, he does have a bit of a weird vibe about him but I figured it was just because he's a seemingly tortured soul who has the weight of the world on him.
That may be true but that is obviously not the only reason he's a tortured soul. He knew that shit wasn't right.

Well, it's starting to appear that Hollywood will soon be devoid of men who can get a movie deal or a TV deal or any sort of deal or even lunch, for that matter. Then again, Woody Allen's still cranking 'em out. Politics as well. Hell- let's face it- I bet men in every situation where they've been in power from the mightiest to the least are doing a little boot-quaking.
Of course, there's DT and he got elected and I don't want to talk about that.

Let's talk about this.


Levon napping. I just love saying that name. Levon, Levon, Levon. 
Levon, get in this house! Levon, stop messing with the chickens. Levon, you already had two cookies. Share with your brother! Levon, I just love you. Levon, you are so precious. Levon, you are peaches and cream and love and sweetness. Levon, play us a tune. 
And so forth. 
I will go see him tomorrow. I will kiss him a lot. I will smell his neck and his head and all of him that I can get my nose on. 

And now I'm going to go make some curried vegetables which will include thinned mustard greens and teeny-tiny beet greens. 

Life in my world does not suck right now. Not one bit. 

Love...Ms. Moon

  2. He is adorable, and his name is perfect. Welcome to the world, Levon. You landed in a truly wonderful family. But then again, you chose them, didn't you? What a magical time.

    1. If he chose Jessie and Vergil, he is a very, very wise soul.

  3. Can anything be more beautiful than this wonderful Levon baby child love? I think not. And I am thrilled to know that there ARE doctors who will come to a home birthed baby and Mama at home. You, and all, have enjoyed a perfect day

    1. He has no idea how much he is adored. I am so glad that Vergil's mama and stepfather are able to meet him this early. He'll have that love in his very beginning too.

  4. I keep looking at his picture. He’s beautiful.

    All the children in your family have the best names.

    1. We take naming seriously. And Vergil was quite adamant that his baby's name would be unique and meaningful. I think that he and Jessie made the right choice.

  5. As I was reading your report on your gardening I was thinking about how much I really love hearing those kinds of details. I guess I follow the right blog then! I won't say it is fascinating like you mentioned (haha) but I do get a calming feeling when I read about stuff like that. And the chickens. And the grands. It is so nice that more keep arriving!

    1. I have a feeling that there may be a moratorium on new grandchildren for awhile at least. But news of the garden and chickens and the rest of the grandchildren shall continue as always.

  6. He's a magnificent baby! And you have doctors who make house calls?
    Maybe I should move to a small town in Florida.

    1. Well, Tallahassee is not that small of a town. Okay, it sort of is. But this doctor is unique, even here. He's a jewel.

  7. apparently there are a lot of men out there who are in love with their penis and think all women should be too. I have ignored the lettuce, spinach, and beets I planted. the lettuce seems to be the only thing that grew/survived. and more baby love in your life!

    1. Yes. Men and their penises. What would this world be like if women thought about their clitorises and vaginas the way men think of their little friends? It would be a different world, I think.
      And hurray for more baby love!

    1. Couldn't you just eat him up? Couldn't you just hold him all day long?

  9. I don't know enough about Louis CK to say anything one way or another about his actions. I'm not sure I can even picture him.

    You're right -- your neighbor has a LOT of birds!!

    1. Well, Louis CK has been the darling boy of comedy for quite awhile. Guess that's over.

  10. BIG congratulations on Levon! Love that name. He is just beautiful and perfect.

    And now we switch to an odious subject -- I never did like Louis C.K. He always gave me the willies. Never thought he was very funny either.

    Love you. Miss you.
