Whirlwind Weekend

I had a wonderful, whirlwind Saturday with the lovely Miss Eloise, and her Mucho-Happy brother, Luca. Benoit dropped them off at the farm on Friday evening, in time for visits with all of the critters, evening feedings, helping Gakki bake bread and finally eating supper and playing for an hour or so before bed.

Saturday we left the farm at 8:15 am and drove to my sister Jeannie's home in MD to share a celebratory lunch for her 60th birthday.


From there we traveled to Mom's home, through the congested roads, presumably due to University of Maryland graduations. At Mom's the kiddos delighted in the lift-and-toss-you-out recliner, as Mom cautioned against a likely catastrophe. All survived.

Then it was back in the car for another two and a half hours, driving the kiddos back home to Rochelle. They delighted in spending the remaining daylight playing in their yard, rolling in the experimental tall grasses area, climbing and dancing with trees, building a bonfire and using branches of leaves for umbrellas until they decided to fetch Mama's favorite umbrella to defeat the raindrops.

When Jenn returned from her events, around 8:15 PM, I made the journey back to the farmette, arriving at 11:30 pm... a day full of driving, but made perfect because my passengers were PERFECT!!
