These days


Spring is just the best. We're getting into the swing of running outside when the weather is nice, saving inside work and play for the rainy days. It seems that overnight Ole grew into all the playground equipment, opening up a whole new world of fun.


Worm digging has been our other major spring pastime--much to the delight of the chickens.


We tore ourselves away from home-sweet-home this weekend for two 4-year-old birthday parties. Oh boy! The first was a princess party with Princess Ana from Frozen. Ole was glued to my lap and not at all impressed to see a genuine princess.
"Mom, look! There's candy!"
The next party got him off my lap! Fun with bubbles, balloons, and dinosaurs.
We also had a good day recently at Portland's aquarium (meh) and Bob's Red Mill (awesome) with our friend Stephanie.
And of course we're keeping it loose with yoga.
Then there was that day Ole decided to mail himself to the North Pole. 
Boots, rope, and BunBun? He'll be fine!
Finally, I thought I'd give a behind the scenes peek of our mead bottling operation. There's a batch of dry honey wine, one of blackberry, and one of rhubarb. And I learned a new word! Melomel--a mead that contains fruit. Who knew!
