Getting Back and Michaelmas - Retour et Michaëli

We are slowly getting back to our family rhythm. Happy to be back in this space.

Nous revenons tranquillement à notre rythme familial habituel. Je suis heureuse d'être de retour dans cet espace.

This week we canned, baked, drew, painted and told stories of brave knights and fierce dragons.

Cette semaine nous avons cuisiné, dessiné, peint et raconté des histoires de braves chevaliers et de dragons féroces.

A favourite Michaelmas story...

Welcome Baby - Bienvenue bébé

Welcome to our new baby boy

Bienvenue à notre nouveau bébé garçon

who crossed the rainbow bridge into our arms on September the 9th.

Both mama and baby are healthy and happy.

Maman et bébé se portent très bien.

Grateful

This morning, I am feeling very grateful for:

September, golden rays of sun pouring through the house and temperatures cooling down...

corn stalks still standing strong in the garden after some bad winds...

healthy, fresh food from our garden and lots of help in the kitchen...

our chicks that have grown into beautiful hens so fast over the summer...

stacks of wood that will make the coming months warm and cosy and our strong children that love to help their papa...

lots of knitting...

our gentle sheep...

work that keeps our hands busy as we wait on the arrival of our new baby as well as this beautiful, peaceful little place on earth and this wonderful, rich life into which we will be welcoming baby very soon...
