As you may have noticed, I haven't posted on this blog for a while now. I know, it's a real disappointment, but there is good news! I started a new blog!
Please come over to: http://missledasfarmhouse.blogspot.com/ to read about my further adventures. And I promise, I will keep up with it this time.
Thank you for visiting :)

Weekend
Some Saturdays are better than others. This one was of the better variety. I took Bendi to his farm in the morning, where he is a "barn buddy", which means he feeds and takes care of the farm animals. His favorite, (and I've heard it's mutual) is Mr. Emu, the emu. They tell me Bendi has no fear, and goes and plays with him, and hugs him. (The link to the picture is from the farm's website, and just to be completely clear, it is NOT Bendi next to Mr. Emu.)
They also have a wallaby called Ruah, a deer called Heidi, (Bendi tells me the baby deer in that picture went to a zoo), cows, goats, horses, chickens, ducks, rabbits, dogs and cats, guinea pigs, ferrets and probably some others I can't rememer. It is such a fun place for Bendi to spend the morning. Anyway, while he was at the farm, I went to the winter farmer's market in Natick. I met some nice people and got some amazing bread and yummy wine.
I also stopped by my mom's house where I helped her re-wrap the handle of her tennis racket. (Not much different from placing a bandage on a leg.)
Then, after I picked up Bendi and bought the obligatory weekly squirrel food, and apple pie, (plus a surprise present to some of our chicken friends), we went to Bendi's so-called "yummy food place", (Chipotle) to get some lunch. Unfortunately he didn't get his whole meal, because they RAN OUT OF CHEESE. (Pretty poor planning for a Mexican place.)
After lunch we went over to Barnes and Noble and seeing how much fun Bendi was having reading with the new Nook, I finally gave in and got one. I've been thinking about it for a while now, but what held me back was that I have the original, black and white one, so I should not spend money on a new one, no matter how much more it can do. What convinced me to get it was how easily Bendi read a whole book, just because it was a cool, finger swooshing, electronic book. Yes, I wish my son was a great reader, who loved to sit with a book for hours, but he's just not that. I might as well admit it. Reading is not his thing. So if this makes him read more, even though it is so the opposite of how I imagined I'd bring up my son, and the type of things I would make available for him, it works. I have to embrace the fact that he will grow up with computers, and all kinds of new technology that I will never understand. He loves nature and animals and being outside so I'm not worried that he will be corrupted by this new technology.
Anyway, I got home to Steven making an amazing sort of Knickerbocker-ish stew with our CSA vegetables. It was as good as it looks, if not better!
And today was spend by helping Bendi with his science project...
...and staying inside to get away from the cold wind, and each of us enjoying the things we love most.
I once again decided that I am going to start posting more often, because it feels good to start using my creative side after years of ignoring it, what with a demanding job in the veterinary field it is hard to find enough extra time and energy to be creative.
And that is why I am...
...but that's a whole other story.
Until next time followers, (even if I'm just talking to myself).
