I got these pictures of Kayla after Emma came.
Kayla is working for most of the day in the gardens now, and while she works she keeps Emma in a papoose that our friend Kimmi gave us.
On the very best of days, this is what farming looks like to me.

Emma spends the time out of her papoose in a stroller at the edge of the garden.
Baby Emma, two-and-a-half months
What a beautiful baby Emma is. And the whole series of photos is delightful.
I keep forgetting to ask… I became curious about your category, “A Wee Wife” after I received a gift from a company called Indigo Wild, and one of their catalogs. They have a category of products for “wee ones” and the whole “Wee Family”. Since they’re all chemical free, artificial fragrance free, and so on, I wondered if Kayla might be using their products. Whether the answer to that’s yes or no, it’s a great category name!
And of course it reminds me of the nursery rhyme from my childhood, Wee Willie Winkie .
Thank you so much! She is such a sweet baby.
We have not heard of those products; Kayla is going to look them up.
I started calling Kayla the “wee wife” when we got married in Ireland. You can read about this in http://fourstringfarm.me/2011/09/25/the-song-of-songs/.
There is a good poem about a “wee wife” from Alexander Hume and another one about the “wee wife” from Robert Burns. Both are fitting.
I’ve got some samples I got with my last order. If you send me your address via email, I’ll send them down. Email is varnishgal at gmail dot com.
