i love this beautiful season of cooler days & warmer hearts. we picked the perfect tree from a farm nearby & drove home to the hum of our old truck. we drank hot chocolate with marshmallows & decorated the tree to our favorite christmas album. our tree isn’t fancy, just hand-me-downs & childhood favorites, but we love it so much. as i drive up to our home, i love to see the sparkle peeking through the window.
our little flock of five had their first afternoon outside. their personalities really came to life as some pecked at the kale & others hid behind our bucket of spent lettuce. such a wonderful saturday spent harvesting baskets of green beans & watching our little chicks. they sure are growing into their little chicken ways of pecking & scratching.
we have finally decided on names. drum roll, please! fennel, violet, fern, parsley & rosemary. we just love them & our little backyard full of life.
bits of inspiration from a thrifted book full of beautiful native american art. i have been coming back to these images for inspiration as i create new necklaces for the little craft show.
