Remember my challenge to grow a big chunk of my own food this year and declare some measure of food freedom? Things are coming along nicely! So far in the garden we have lots of peas and radishes coming up, a nice strawberry patch, pumpkins, and about a dozen tomato plants. We still have some stuff growing indoors too and I hope to hit my local farmer's market for some zucchini and cucumber seedlings. I am very pleased with how everything is coming along. Strawberries: Our rows of sugar snap … [Read more...]

Summer Evenings with My Kiddos
Not really summer yet but boy it felt like it! One really great thing about sports practice is that I am getting to spend some nice time with my two older kids one on one.

Getting a subdued shot of him is a rarity. Here are some of the shots I took tonight. My daughter already has her team nickname... Speedy. Here is an old-timey … [Read more...]

My niece will be spending the weekend with us. And I will of course be sending lots of virtual love to my new nephew who just arrived in America from China last week. Earth Day/Week was nice even if I didn't get to see the new Earth movie from Disney. My stupid, bass ackwards little town decided not to show it at the local theatre so … [Read more...]
Juicing Away!
I decided a long time ago I really didn't NEED a juicer. For one thing I like the fiber and nutritious "pulp" to stay in the juice. Second, we have a Vita-Mix and a Blendtec and they pulverize anything that goes in them. They make a mean smoothie for sure and for less pulpy juices or nut milk I just use a strainer or cheese cloth. When straining juice there were still some bits in it but that is okay with me. My kids, however, were used to super smooth juices in a bottle and did not like stuff … [Read more...]
