back and home

This is just to say that we are back to the Internet-ed world. We went 2 blissful weeks without telephone and 3 without Internet at the new farm. We got our phone back a week earlier all for Nick mentioning over and over that his "wife" was 8 1/2 months pregnant and we needed some way to call our midwife or the hospital, heavenforbid. We use the terms "husband" and "wife" when we feel it would garner us more respect than "babymama" or "babydaddy".

It was so wonderful to be so unreachable. It allowed for mornings and evenings to be left sacred. Instead of watching Netflix at night we've been reading baby books. Our due date is fast approaching with me at 35 weeks. I realized this week I have one onesie, a bassinet, and a little hat. Not a single diaper, or carseat, or wrap. So this weekend is devoted to the accumulation of the necessary so that when baby comes, he can be warm and safe and clean.

I'll put more photos of the new farm up soon. For now....

1. View at dawn from the porch.
2. Nick and Winnie walking in for morning milking.
3. Our pond where I've spent most of my late pregnancy days.
4. Fiddlehead in the crabapple outside the house, taunting a puppy who can't climb.
5. A warning of frost last night for our chilled little town. I wrapped each tomato in a bedsheet as I could think of nothing else at 9:30pm when I checked the weather report.
