Between the Inn and the Carriage House at Shelburne Farms.

Joshua and Iris pose on hay bales

Iris takes pleasure in Joshua’s good nature.

For dinner we had

ox heart stroganoff

with barley

and peas.

And raw milk. Iris loves raw milk from an assortment of mammas.

I mean, mammals.

She ate a good amount,

mostly before sitting at the table.

Papa feeds her. We both adore him.

Bizou a Papa!

Mama! Mama!

Two toddlers, both short on sleep, get together on a rainy day to study color theory.

 Iris discovers the many shades of brown.

This is your typical shot of a professional painter hard at work on one of his canvases.

Joshua got a new bed.

He and Iris jumped on it until they were breathless.

Heather was leaving them uninterrupted to act like crazy kids.

I came in late with the camera.

Ari packs to leave.

Iris helps.

We don’t want her to go.

She takes her dog dish,

and her bicycle pump,

and her doggie,

and leaves us.
