We left home, the animals, the gardens, and the weeds for five days for a family reunion and vacation. While we had delightful fun, every time we climbed in the car, Q asked, "Are we going home?"
Hope was as excited to see us as we were to be home. If only I had taken pictures of her leaping and wiggling when we arrived!
We came home to a bridge out, 2"+ of rain, some brave guineas, weeds enough to keep us hopping, our first strawberries, growing peaches, and... a broken faucet. Our hard water is... hard... on metal fixtures, and the stem had corroded into nothingness. Exciting times.
There's nothing quite like coming home to the inability to wash your dishes in your kitchen. The bathroom sink and I became friends yesterday. James was stellar and replaced the sink as soon as he took care of outside chores.

It was pleasant to have the distraction of berries to pick
As well as peaches to admire.
And I seem to have found a touch of poison ivy somewhere. Pray for me!
Until next time, remember, this is not paradise. It's Purgatory Ranch.
nooooooooooooo poison ivy! I am itchy absolutely everywhere, but I think it's just a mass of bugbites from lying on the ground during that maternity shoot.
