As we wandered the streets of Chicago, Fede asked me endlessly – Are you worried about the animals yet? Will they be OK? Are you fretting?
I think he was more worried than I was as we wandered about the streets of Chicago.
Eating- ( and a teensy bit of drinking!).
We went to Whole Foods too and Eataly. Galleries and Streets.
Lots of streets in a city. The city is a vast and glorious place. Do you love that header shot? I do. Here it is again just in case you missed it.
This was the door of an abandoned cinema? I am not sure. I desperately want to get into that movie theater. But I was glad to get home. Somehow everything seemed more enclosed than usual in the city. We were glad to get back to our wide open spaces. Though I love the city. Can you sense a dichotomy?
The pasture had grown in our 8 hour absence. This week we must get the electric fences set up!
The hay is drying! (small, cautious yay!) I hope you have a lovely day.
Love your friend on the farm,

Oh my those pastries look scrumptious! Worked in France for a time and put on so much weight because of the choice of pastries – one of my weaknesses!
Hope the sun continues to shine on your hay Miss C.
I feel I have lost touch a bit – sorry. Catching up now on your recent posts!
It sounds like you had a well deserved good time 😉
I’m so glad you had a good time. Fetting Fede reminded me of the first holiday (a long weekend) in four years after my babies were born. We fretted the whole time, and I had to be constantly restrained from ringing Grandma to see how they were.
I’m not mad about cities – except in y small doses – but Chicago looks very interesting – specially that patisserie!
Enjoy your day,
love,

Welcome back. Sounds like Fede is a natural farmer, fretting about the farm and animals.
Beautiful images C!
Have a beautiful day.

I am laughing out loud at your dichotomy. It has an ocean running through it! Love it! I think those contradictions in ourselves make us stable on solid. Those are our two legs. Love from Italy.
Oh – but the photo opportunities in the cities…. I love architectural photography …. it runs a close second to floral photography. Both make my back hurt – but in different ways – architectural hurts my neck and shoulders because I’m doing a back bend the whole time I’m in the city trying to get the tops of buildings. Lower back & knees hurt from bending or squatting doing floral photography. God forbid I spend much time in NYC or any other city that would temp me with BOTH!!!!
Miss C, you did your hair specially, and put on your city girl boots! I hope Fede was impressed. Lovely food shots, lovely scenery, even lovelier to be home, I suspect. I shall dream you some more hay drying weather tonight.
Can we keep Fede?
I love the farmy shots, but your city shots are pretty incredible, too. So much depth.
I feel as Viv does, cities give me anxiety and I can only spend small amounts of time in them. Did you bring any of those pastries back to the farm to share?
I too love the city, especially Chicago. Such wonderful sites and history. Yet somehow the country calls my name more loudly and there is never a sense of peace in the city. At least not for me.
Chicago is my favorite big American city! Looks like a lot of fun, though how wonderful you have your farm to come home to.
I think going to the city makes coming home that much sweeter. I would miss the animals too. It’s always good to slip in a bit of contrast.
