The Men Fish And The Woman, She Sleeps

Saturday morning and I am being lazy, lazy although Mr. Moon and Owen, who did spend the night, got up so early and had coffee and cocoa, respectively and left me love notes


and drove off into the darkness to a lake all the way in western Leon County to go fishing on Mr. Moon's buddy's new pontoon boat.



Look at that beautiful boy! 
It makes my heart so very happy to think that he and his grandfather can have such adventures now. 
It's exactly what his Boppy has been dreaming of since the day of his birth. 

In other less happy news, when I went to let the chickens out this morning, Violet was the first one out of the coop and a few of the other hens were inspecting the eggs she's been sitting on and I noticed that they do not smell good. 
Dammit. 
I believe this is a failed "having birth" effort. 
And now I'm going to have to deal with a whole bunch of rotten eggs. 

Ah lah. 

Well, all of these little cutie beauties are fine and well and thriving and growing.


Gibson instructed me with much seriousness yesterday to "keep Dearie alive."
I am doing my best. 

And now...onwards! Perhaps to pickle some beets. I am quite certain that the entire world is absolutely atremble over the possibility of me pickling beets. 

Stay tuned!

Love...Ms. Moon

  2. Well, we can't say Violet didn't try. Bless her wee hen heart.
    My kids never had a dull moment with my dad. Grandpa's are so much fun!

    1. Grampa's are more fun than anyone, I think. Well, mostly. Mine wasn't much what you'd call fun, but he was kind.

    1. I hope that at least one of the chicks is a lad but not all! I know what you mean, though, and thank you.

  5. Mary resting napping dreaming none of these things have anything to do with laziness a pejorative term I despise. Go easy on yourself. You do so much for everyone.

  6. That photo of Owen, the first one, is dreamy and beautiful, and yes, definitely worth framing.

  7. Teaching Owen to leave notes of love is beautiful. Gibson's instructions about Dearie made my heart smile. So manual lovely updates about the boys and the chickens and the activities in Lloyd!!
