{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} I will not be surprised when this child grows up to be either a meteorologist or a conservationist or even a National Geographic photographer – mostly because she has no care of weather. She loves all weather – she loves to be in it, to immerseContinue reading “Duendesday Wednesday!”

{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} Duende was very excited to see some active but light snowing when she woke up today. Just a coating, mostly in the crevices and paths of the grass but a few icicles to really make her happy. She’s playing Parcheesi with Daddy right now but thenContinue reading “Duendesday!”

{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} The sass is strong with this one. She’s as imaginative and funny as she is sassy and forthright. I wouldn’t change a thing. She’s very independent – in her desires and her expressions of them, she knows who she is already and she’s not afraid toContinue reading “Duendesday”

{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} There’s not much more exciting than baby animals for this kid (alright, they don’t even have to be babies – she loves all animals). So, when Nana asked if Duende would like to babysit her new Maine Coon kitten, the kid’s head nearly exploded with glee.Continue reading “Autumn Duendesday”

{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} Words escape me. How lovely is this Equinox celebration? Divine. Happy Shifting Seasons to you and yours.

{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} How is our little peach these days? She is counting her chickens, hunting for mushrooms, and driving the tractor-mower (again). She takes her mower-driving very seriously – she concentrates on all the steps and learns new tips. It really gave her a kick to tow theContinue reading “Duendesday is for Movers and Shakers”

{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} HI PEEPS, IT’S ME, DUENDE! A NEW TREAT FOR FALL IS HERE AND THEY’RE APPLE CHIPS. IF YOU DON’T TRY THEM THIS FALL THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT FALL. THEY DON’T GROW ON TREES! OH YEAH, YES THEY DO. THEY’RE YUMMY LITTLE HOMEMADEContinue reading “Duendesday from Duende”

{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} She’s a maker, a doer, a shaker, a dancer, a marvelous wood sprite with magickal powers to amuse and amaze! She’s been hard at work playing lately – making all manner of craziness and discovery. She’s been playing badminton and board games, drawing on her outdoorContinue reading “Duendesday Wednesday”

{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} The agenda of a free 10-yr-old is certainly something to admire and emulate. She wakes up when her body tells her (anywhere between 7 and 9), feeds the pets, and forages for food – sometimes something sensible like cereal or toast, sometimes something ridiculous if itContinue reading “Duendesday”

{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} Cabot Cheese is having an online drawing contest (juried by the children on the farm) which all sounds like good fun – cows abound! The rules are pretty simple; cows, original artwork, kids 4-17. There are no prizes listed (I’m imagining it is for the funContinue reading “Duendesday is for the Cows”
