may at last!
the month of 2 weddings, one baptism, 2 weeks in the netherlands, one ear-throat infection, house guests… ? but also a month of tearing up at newlyweds, of many bike rides, of eating all the vla and meeting old friends, of going back to old haunts and checking out new museums, and a month with a lot of family moments in it. may, you were something else!
so, april!
april started quietly. we set up the irrigation system in the raised bed and battled the many caterpillars that threatened our crops. we studied, birdwatched, did some crochet carnations, went to a friend’s exhibition and found clothes for the upcoming weddings (not a small task!). we also found time to hike on our anniversary! and then we went north and spent a few days kissing baby LJ’s cheeks and being charmed by her ?
i’m way, way behind on these videos, but let’s catch up! here’s march:
march was the last of the quiet months — it feels like it’s been non-stop since then. in march, we hiked, watched a bunch of movies, voted, traveled to france to hug friends, got the yearly dust storm from the sahara, hosted game nights and started eating more potatoes!
february was also plenty nice! we planted thousands of little trees, kissed niece’s chubby cheeks, cuddled some baby goats, gave blood (and i got a medal for my donations!) and i also learned a bit of crochet at last! :)
i’m a bit late with these videos, so here’s the first month of the year!
january was a good month (apart from the bit where i got sick ?), that started and ended in the north. in the middle of it there was some gardening and composting, talking en français, game nights, lego, lebkuchen, and a lot of caldo verde!
