Where Have I Been

I have good reason to believe that the berries in the photo are Elderberries which is pretty fun. They are edible, favorites of bears and have you ever heard of Elderberry Wine? I just might have to try and make some one day soon.

More importantly - some may be wondering where I have disappeared to. The answer is quite simple I sprained my ankle badly about three weeks ago and I also started having false labor. The sprain has, until recently, prevented me from going around my yard and really investigating things. I have started getting out again this week and I have seen many interesting Butterflies. I have also noticed a terrible blight is killing my once wonderful squash plants.

As for the false labor, it has been exhausting and distracting. Hence I had kinda forgotten about the blog... Ooops. Sorry.

I haven't had my baby yet and tomorrow I will be a week over due. The anticipation is tough to bare and is an invaluable lesson in patience. I could get more philosophical but the truth is the while I want to have this baby yesterday I'm still not 100% ready for the planned natural birth.

Look forward to a nice picture of baby in the backyard.
