farmer eric

it's been a little chilly here at night, so every morning we get to wake up to this cuteness.  I am not sure when jamin crawls into bed with cora, but this has been the morning scene since we've been here.  he says he just whispers, "cora, scoot over and I will keep you warm" and then snuggles right in.  they sleep in plenty late this way, so you won't hear me complaining.  

 cora has more sundresses than I care to admit.  thankfully, as long as we let her accessorize herself, she is game to wear them all on a rotating basis.  the first summer I worked here, jcrew came out and did a photo shoot in the barn where they keep the sailboats.  I think jcrew's kid line might need to know cora is here to model for them.  we can do the shoot right in our cottage.

this one shows a little more of our living room IF you can pry your eyes away from that cutie on the couch :)

this is how they paid eric for two hours of work picking strawberries.  

today was eric's first day on the farm. (here's a link if you want to check out where he is working: http://sylvestermanor.org/ )  he met a kid that just graduated from app state, got to tell his "how I met my wife story", and picked strawberries barefoot for two hours.  his life is pretty perfect. so far his is the only beard we have seen on island and today at the farm some one told him "I saw you in your carhartt overalls at the store yesterday and could not figure out why someone would be on shelter island in overalls.  makes sense to see you here."

we had a picnic supper with all the goodies he brought home (strawberries were gone well before supper was ready).  later tonight we saw a big fat raccoon under that picnic table enjoying our leftovers.  that's local beer in eric's glass.  life is so stinkin' good.
