  • Looks to be a good tomato harvest!

        I don’t know if its the fact that we’ve had the hottest summer on record in many years, the driest year, or the results of Stan and I’s application of alpaca manure but my garden is looking tremendous this year! We’ve already harvest several eggplant, I have peppers ready to harvest my basil…

  • We're up to five, folks!

    A couple of weeks ago Tom and I celebrated our five year anniversary by renting a jet ski and hitting the lake. We had a blast, laughed until we were gitty and smiling until our cheeks hurt. We sped out to the water crib, and took turns driving, ending by taking a dip in the…

  • City fresh, how I love thee!

    I love my CAS. I don’t know why but picking those veggies off that card table, putting them in my self brought bag and bringing them home brings me joy every time. Today I grinned broadly knowing I was going to try bok choy for the first time. I could have bought it a hundred…

  • Family Home Video: Six hand piano trio

    So I meant to post this a few weeks ago, and apparently it failed to upload to Youtube and then I forgot about it. It’s just too funny to pass up, so here it is. Here’s our fun loving, high energy, music loving boy: (This is clearly unedited. If you don’t have the full 4…

  • Family Fun: Edgewater Park

    After a pretty tough week, where I saw Tom not more than an hour every day, we enjoyed being able to spend the second half of yesterday together as a family. We tried the Mexican restaurant Villa y Zapata for the first time, and were hugely impressed. We’ll definitely be back. I wish I’d taken…
