WENDELL WEDNESDAY.
Sometimes we forget that Wendell is still such a puppy. But then he makes a face like this when he wants you to take him on a walk, and those big puppy eyes give him away.
A TRIP IN PHOTOS: CHICAGO.
I was lucky enough to be able to hitch a ride with my parents up to Chicago this week. We went up to see my brother play basketball on his Senior Night at his school. It was also a chance to accomplish a lot of knitting, catch up with my Wheaton family who I love and have missed so dearly, meet a new little baby girl, and re-fall in love with Chicago. Chicago is such a wonderful city, and a part of me will always feel a tiny pull to live in a bustling downtown.I arrived back to Nashville this morning with a PILE of work waiting for me (new stock in the store later this week!) - so I am so grateful to have had this small break to relax and leave some stress behind for a bit.- Hannah.
WHAT WE'RE READING.
//// Links we are loving this week ////
ONE and TWO: We are so happy that two of our favorite families are stepping up their blog game. Both Bugtussle Farm and Hill & Hollow Farm have been posting daily glimpses into the life of real homesteaders.THREE: The European Union just banned three popular pesticides because of their harmful effect on honeybees. Now if only the United States would adopt a similar precautionary principle...FOUR: We found our doppleganger farm! Little Seed Farm is not too far away in Lebanon, Tennessee, and we are hoping to get to meet these lovely folks someday soon!FIVE: Oh my. We have fallen in love with Folk Fibers and their beautiful and naturally hand-dyed quilts. This blog is absolutely magical....and it has us dreaming of one day making our own dyes and learning how to quilt.SIX: On a completely random note, if you like lovely photography and you like dogs, then Maddie on Things is the website for you. I think we should try this out with Wendell.- Hannah & Jesse.

WENDELL WEDNESDAY.
Jesse and Wendell are holding down the fort this week, as I am actually on my way to Chicago to see my wonderful wonderful family. Jesse is keeping me updated with lots of pictures and videos, just in case I start missing them too much. Oh, my boys.- Hannah.
