Blueberry-pickin time! Just around the corner from our house. We could've walked, but it was hot! 😁 Blueberries were extra fun for Dahlia since there were no thorns and she could wander and pick all on her own. And we all loved tasting the different varieties of blueberries. One was tart with the most complex flavor. Another was sweet and juicy. Another was flowery. It makes me wonder about all the wonderful varieties of apples we've lost, and the many varieties of tomatoes I've yet to taste. I'll miss this place when move next year, but we will always find ways to show Dahlia how food grows, where it comes from, how it affects our bodies, and how our food choices affect the land and the world around us. So thankful for every opportunity to #eatlocal, #supportfamilyfarms, and #buyorganic. ❤ Tomorrow - Triple Crown (thornless) blackerries!!! Also thankful for our second freezer. #pickalltheberries #wildandfreekids #wildandfreechildren #willamettevalley #thegoodlife Between the Mama and Baby deer who often visit, the 10 baby quail running around, and the countless birds nesting on (or in!) our house, this place seems so magical. #willamettevalley #homesweethouse Went berry-picking this morning and stuffed our faces with #marionberries and #boysenberries. SO good. So so so good. Some of the tastiest, juiciest berries I've ever had. #nomnomnom #southbarlowberries #wildandfreechildren #wildandfreekids #getoutside #eatlocal Dahlia made up a new story today. ❤ She's also been going through a nap regression the past few days (resisting her nap and trying to skip it even though she really needs one). 😩 Sleep regressions are actually PROgressions because they often coincide with, and are the result of, the development or mastery of new skills - so I'm not surprised her language is exploding at the moment. I just really miss those naps. 😅 Oh, and here's the story. Keep in mind, I'm typing what she said word-for-word...just so you know I'm not adding/editing anything. 😁 🏵One day, there was a caterpillar climbing up a tree and flying around and around looking for its Mama. Then it found a honeybee, and they flew home together and had dinner.🏵 #toddlertales #wildandfreechildren #wildandfreekids #raisingreaders #storytime #gentleparenting Blackberry picking along our driveway. Most are still ripening so we gotta reach to get the big ones. This is not sketchy at all. #blackberries #willamettevalley #berrypicking #wildandfreekids #wildandfreechildren Another photo from the library. Today, Dahlia sang her first really long, made up song and she told me her first complete story. Sadly, I can't remember the song (I was half asleep), but here's the story: One day, there was a lamp outside that was growing and growing and growing all by itself. When the sun came out, it turned into a big flower. The end. ❤🌸 If she ever becomes a professional storyteller, I'll have documented the first story she ever crafted...at 2 years, 4 months, and 7 days old. Lol #storytime #toddlertales #raisingreaders
