Today was a sad day. We had sally put to sleep.
Mae put it best:
"I will always love sally"

twenty one jars

yes.. 21 jars of strawberry jam oh my!
I'm happy my girl was really interested in the process.
I think pickles and beets are next!

singing and swinging

we were all outside after dinner. kevin and I were playing a game while chloe and mae were playing with the chickens. I looked over and noticed mae with sally on her belly swinging. I went to take her picture and she said "mama I'm singing to her" "she likes it."

a little park time

picture this

mae tells me to "picture this" or "picture me mama"

Mae by mae

no words..... I found these on the camera.
