This Weeks Items: Nature, Vintage, Whimsical, Cooking, Weeks Best
Nature
There is one lone Calendula plant hanging on in my garden. Everything else has been frosted completely off. But, this bit of sunshine just keeps hanging on!
Vintage
I have a couple of vintage metal picnic baskets. One was my grandma’s ( yellow and black) and the one in this photo belonged to my mother-in-law, before it found its way to my house. I was going to set up a shot with the old books, picnic basket and apple, but then I had a volunteer… and I couldn’t resist! So I have a beautiful little model showcasing my vintage picnic basket!
Whimsical (i.e. playful)
We have some pretty funny hens at our place. As soon as we step foot outside they come to greet us. I knew we would have to work fast before the girls got interested in what my daughter and I were doing. Six of them followed us out to the field. Thankfully they got distracted by some weeds and began scratching around just out of frame. Then we had one become curious. She was just sure the apple was something for her to eat. She pecked at it a couple of times before she figured out it wasn’t the real deal, just a fake, and she strutted off.
Cooking
My men love mashed potatoes and would probably eat them every meal if I let them!
Weeks Best
It has to be one from this afternoons photo shoot. It was sunny, unseasonably warm and I was hanging out with my favorite girl!

Gosh, Lauren is really growing up! She is so beautiful!! I love that shot of her with the chicken! :o) Aren't the hens so funny! As soon as ours figure out we don't have any food for them, they tend to wander back to whatever they were doing. And they are so easily distractable! (I guess that's not a word...blogger isn't recognizing it...)
