Fridays Pleasures

We worked on the wicker bells after the morning chores. It was difficult and we took a break to go and feed our neighbor's baby goats! This was a pleasure Marsel had never experienced and she thoroughly enjoyed it-so did the little goat! The little buck teasing was a bottle baby, too, a while ago and he still remembers the joy! David fearlessly took off like a fellow 'kid' and enjoyed the energy of all the young goats (50!).

Abigail was frightened last visit but held on to her stick to keep the Great Pyrenes at bay and she was quite the sheperdess this time!

Bruce took pictures of his family but I did manage to get one of him, too! Caleb got to stay for another day and so was able to enjoy the farm visit-his role as uncle has priority with him as you see!

We finished our bells in the afternoon-against all kinds of set backs we have a pair of bells for each of us! We had felt pretty confident of our basket weaving skill; progressing from beginner to advanced beginner kits but this one is labeled intermediate for a reason! It shields its story as it hangs on the door..........

Basket Weavers

Every year we plan a project to do together and even Con joined my Mom, daughter and I this year in weaving a basket. This was her first and she took right to it like there was Native American in her (there is!). We worked on this most of the day and she even finished hers first! What a satisfying time-thanks to Amanda and Alicia for keeping the kids entertained and in check so we could do this. Bill and Chuck went to play a round of golf and got sunburned and laugh lines to show they had a good time.
