apple blossoms...remembering last year when uma and i would go for a walk and stop and pick an apple on our way out the door.
march 30th...
uma and i on a walk. the birds are very active now, so many to observe. here we are looking for the doves in the tree, we can here their gentle cooing
stopping to watch our neighbor cutting his grass. uma suggested that he might come and cut ours too. she is fascinated by the whole process...
our neighbor's tree ... not sure what kind of tree it is, but he color of the buds are a deep fuschia
madhava wearing his new hat that zafta made and i received by post. daddy is making a funny face.
ram and hillary arrived late in the night and anjuli left for the airport. ships passing in the night.
march 31st... another walk with baby in her box bed.
april 1st...
off to chestnut hill with ram, hilary and dhani for coffee at my favorite cafe...
walking around chestnut hill with the guys and hoggle too...
stopped at metropolitan bakery to buy the delicious breads
after we finished up on the hill we headed to the estate to walk about. here's dhani showing us a sword our friend alex made.
dhani show ram and hil the water diversion trenches he dug.
ram noticed there was lots of knot weed growing up and we decided to go get the goats and let them nibble on it to keep it under control
here you can see hoggle walking thought the knot weed...they are still tender shoots that the goats will love to nibble on.
we have 14 goats now, and here they are diving in on the knot weed.
hoggle was definitely his his element herding these goats. it was such fun to watch him maneuver around.
munching on the wild grass
nibbling on the tender new leaves
beautiful buds, not sure yet what kind of tree this is but it looks very old and elegant.
ram and dhani administering some medical attention to shreyon's infected knee
after we put the goats back in their pen we went over to visit the marinelli/pai family. uma was very busy creating a birthday party for everybody....she brought all her little animals and dollies.
madhava looking adorable
april 2nd
april 3rd.... a walk and visit to the estate
taking babies for a walk
found some little stickers inside one of babies pockets. then uma decided that she needed a sling to carry her babies. so, rather than walking home to get a sling, i fashioned one out of my scarf
tending to babies

april 4th....knitting circle
we met at my house (i was up at 6 cleaning in preparation)....we had some new people join us this month. and there were three new knitters, which is very exciting for me. they learned how to cast on and basic knit stitch. all three were very fast learners, and one (who was left handed) was a natural. the food was delicious, everyone very generously brought something to share. ingrid brought quite a few items to 'show and tell', one dress that she knit and wore back in the 60's, absolutely gorgeous. thank you to all the ladies who made the evening so much fun.
