wandering around the farm and dreaming and playing they would live there for real...looking and trying to open all the hidden doors, exploring every corner of the property, agreeing and arguing which animals belong to whom now...carefully.as they are. ▪ oh the dream of a child to live on a farm for real.and not just to go over there, even if its daily.no thats not enough.not for them.they have bigger dreams....and somehow i love their dreams.a lot....maybe one day.who knows. {last one...sorry for the overload of photos again....but, well, i guess thats so me 🙈😌}

tomatoe love....🍅 a veggie all of us four can eat...all.the.time. #mykindofbeauty

that little basket is filled now with fresh sweet tomatoes day bye day...and even though we grow a few tomatoes ourselfes, which are picked right away when they are ripe and eaten, its nice to be priviliged to harvest theirs, our neighbours, where they have the space on their farm to grow loooooots of them▪ our sweet neighbours let us harvest all their tomatoes and tree fruits while they are on holidays.not for the first time....what a treat.what a gift.i am so thankful for the great community we have here.something i didn't even dream of when we moved to the countryside 4 years ago...i guess it helps that i go over with cakes and homemade jams once in a while...its that 'sharing things and passions' with each other... {next 3 photos are from a few days ago...we are back now to summer temperatures 😘}

when m.took photos of us standing in the water yesterday evening...and if our kids can remember this summer and their slowly wrinkly aging parents, with that happy grin, because they both are truly happy and grateful for every single day they can spent with each other and them, than i am one very happy esther, woman, wife, mother ♡ - a "little" addition here: its not just that there are hardly any photos of just us two, but to be quiete honest here, this is also not the every day picture of how our kids see us.and i am sure a lot of you know, that everyday chores/stresses/work ..., often don't put us in those romantic positions and situations...often the kids already sleep when we find time to relax and/or show affection to each other, BUT sometimes like on holidays or at certain phases in life, its easier to show or live it during the day/while being with the kids, because life is different and puts us in different phases also as a couple {thats what i witnessed over the past 12 or 13 years}....nevertheless i am convinced that its worth working on it and to be aware of it, that even though love may grow strong besides 'just showing' affection, its important to show and live it in front of our kids as well...well, i am or we are working on that.....so a big yes, for more of those photos and even more for more of those kind of everyday sceneries.♡♡
