My blog-dom has been a little quiet the past few days. I’ve been pretty busy this week. Today was Lizzie’s Bridal Shower, plus we hosted our usual Sunday night company dinner- with a twist. 🙂 We were lucky enough to get to spend time with our dear friend Dan tonight. […]

See this? I grew this! These are French Breakfast Radishes from my garden. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about radishes before. While at my little plot of soil, I found that my peas are also doing very well- in fact, I need to find more trellis for […]

The strawberry fields are still plentiful and juicy. I was very happy to see that when we headed to the field this morning. In my mind I had visions of the kids and I managing to pick about 20 pounds of strawberries- visions of jamming dancing in my head. Zander […]

Today I made my first foray to the Farmer’s Market this season. It was so nice to be back. 🙂 I spent the morning smiling as I made my way from stall to stall, looking over every single item. It is so wonderful to see all the new vegetables that […]
