We had such a beautiful weekend, enjoying some of our favorite things; the generous hospitality of lovely friends, time on the water, a little boating and fishing, nature walks, birdwatching, plenty of wild life, and yummy food and drink. Vallecito, Colorado is at about 8000 feet, so the air is crisp and cool. There are bears, white tailed deer, wild turkeys, and so many gorgeous birds! Fred especially loved the chipmunks. And the mud at the edge of Vallecito Lake. We wondered if he would go out into the water and swim. He did not. (To our surprise!) The "super moon" was spectacular! Our drive home Sunday took us through the amazing scenery of northern New Mexico; we stopped at Ghost Ranch just to say "hello" to that splendid landscape! We had felt reluctant to leave Little Bird Farm at this very busy time, but guess what. The work was still here when we got home last evening! So - off to it I go now - to peaches, cukes, okra, and green beans! Oh, and dead heading. Fun to go! Wonderful to be back home!
It is unbelievable! No more babies among our grand babes....because our littlest, Ben has turned 2 years old! How quickly they are ALL growing up! (I must be getting old to be spouting such euphemisms!) Wasn't it just yesterday that Nate phoned with the exciting news that our new little one had arrived...and he was Benjamin Lee??!!! Now he is Mr Personality and Mr Silly! How we LOVE him! Have so much fun being two, precious BEN!! We are so happy you are in our lives in a BIG, wonderful way!
