It’s a cloudy, cool day. But the weekend was gorgeous! It was like the summer we never had…
Still haven’t fixed my Links page. It’s really driving me nuts. And it’s difficult to get help via WordPress, though I’ve gotten some. Still, it’s not fixed. I’m very frustrated over it.
We are still getting about 8 eggs [...]

Okay, someone agree with me that it’s INSANE that Asher is two today. Anyone? Because I can hardly believe it.
Here’s a link to his birth story. I just re-read it and got teary eyed. Can’t wait to do it again in a couple of short months! I think mothers feel differently on birthdays than other [...]

Wherein I type as my little listy brain desires.
We have lived here over a year now. Whenever I get discouraged by the ups and downs of our first big garden, I remember meals like last night: herb roasted chicken, spaghetti squash, roasted sweet potatoes, baechu kimchi, radish kimchi…all grown on our farm…in addition to rice, [...]

Sometimes I like to make bullet points out of the things on my mind. Lucky you!
I brought out the roasted barley tea teapot today. See, my mom always makes hers in this pretty (and enormous) stainless steel teapot. It doesn’t whistle, so you have to watch it. But it holds a lot of tea, and [...]

…BOY!
Thanks for playing along, all 32-something of you who voted. Either someone let the cat out of the bag, or you all have great intuition, because as of this afternoon, 66% of you voted Boy. Good job!
I always dreamed that I’d have two girls, then two boys. Very, very surreal that it’s actually happening. Girls [...]

I couldn’t be more excited to announce that WE HAVE OUR FIRST PULLET EGG! Isn’t it darling? You can’t tell very well from the picture, but it’s teeny. My hand is quite small, if that helps.
The chickens are 19 weeks old now, but since they’re a heritage breed (Buff Orpington), we figured we might not [...]

I won’t share the details, because they’re not mine to divulge, but I will say that I’m the proud aunt to a new niece! My sister’s first, and the first cousin for my kids on my side of the family. We’re so excited and thankful that she arrived safely. Watch my sister’s blog for details, [...]

Best words a nurse ever said to me. After far too much waiting, and then more waiting on the phone while someone tracked down the report, I was happy to learn that Asher’s CT scan came back normal. Praise God!
I didn’t realize how worried I was until I finally got the news. We’re going to [...]

I saw the lacinato kale seedlings up yesterday, and today I noticed that some of each type of cabbage, kale, lettuce, and arugula is up. The beets and claytonia have not germinated yet, nor have the leeks and onions. I saw one lonely scallion today, so I expect more by tomorrow.
I have to vent [...]

Will someone please tell me how my baby girl can be turning FOUR YEARS OLD on Monday? Please? Because I just can’t wrap my mind around it.
Jason and I were talking the other day about the possibility that there may never be another baby girl in our family. That made me sad! Who will I [...]
