In June we had a little visitor come stay at our place, accompanied by his mother, Sara's sister Erika. Malcolm Louis Swan spent several days gracing Nammah's place with his bubbling laughter and constant curiosity.
Here Paula is looking up at the nest with mama Robin and her brood, and Malcolm is more intrigued with watching his aunt!
We had so many opportunities for making dreams come true with all the many "wish flowers" growing throughout the estate.
Riding the "tractor" was one of the daily rituals.
Eating strawberries fresh out of the patch was a major hit.
Malcolm was a great helper in the garden. Loosening the soil...
Sorting through the plant containers...building blocks for garden grandeur.
He was a busy little gardener!
And lots of critters were discovered to befriend! Paula is not the critter I mean. Upon her finger is a squiggly caterpillar...
Some squiggly critters were just hanging from the sky. Mac loves this. Erika is not so sure.
Eva the cat was another good friend Mac made on his visit. Here Eva starts a new trend of live garden statuary...
All in all, a great time was had at "Nammah's Place," a new name extended beyond the garden gate to the whole place thanks to Mac's dad, Renny. Renny--checking in daily from Mac's hometown of Austin, Texas--would always ask how things were going at "Nammah's Place." It made perfect sense!
It wasn't all work in the garden. There were flowers to smell...
Benches to visit...
And 4'x 8' plywood boards discovered behind the garden shed to run up and down! This was a fave activity of Mac's!
We hope you'll visit again next year! Hannah misses her pal. And so do we!
Come again someday. That is our truest wish!!
