CSA

Amy M. posted an article on - Jun 13, 2009, 11:33 am
We got our first box of produce from our CSA (Community supported Agriculture) farm. I was hoping for strawberries, but theirs aren't ready quite yet. Instead we got a batch of asparagus, swiss chard, a beautiful bunch of green onions, lettuce and spinach. Plus, a freshly killed chicken, which I'...

Some pics of Nathan playing something that has a passing similarity to Lacrosse. Chasing down an attacker Learning to shoot Playing a game against Canton's kindergartners. Nathan liked being a defender. I would have had video, but the second game was rained out.

A couple of things I've wanted to write about and they tie together nicely. Today we signed up for a farm share from a local Amish Farmer. 200 lbs of veggies from this list of what he's growing... Lettuce, Radishes, Beets, Onions, Peas, Potatoes, Broccoli, Squash, Carrots, Tomatoes, Cukes, Beans, ...

Easter 2009

Amy M. posted an article on - Apr 12, 2009, 10:37 am
Easter usually pretty low key, but now that Claire is getting older we can get into it some more. They had fun coloring eggs yesterday, although three of the eggs landed on the floor and got cracked. Unfortunately, I wiped the card while uploading photos and deleted all but this one shot of Claire....

Compost

Amy M. posted an article on - Mar 28, 2009, 11:02 am
I’ve been planning to build a compost heap out of wooden pallets for the last year. I found this wonderful guide for doing it, and of course I love to do things cheaply. Here's another version that looks pretty high class. The problem is that whenever I saw pallets by the side of the road, I ...

Digging in the Dirt

I'm very psyched that the Obama's have decided to put a Fruit and Vegatable garden in at the White House. Dan and I joined the group Eat the View months ago, while the race was still on, to advocate for removing part of the lawn and replacing it with a useful, healthy garden. Here's the list of wh...

Now I need a stress test

Amy M. posted an article on - Mar 6, 2009, 8:50 pm
Heard the phone ringing as I was putting the kids to bed, but decided to ignore it and let the machine pick it up. I hear a mumbley, kind of southern voice and think it's the insurance agent getting back to us. (Still waiting to finish a claim on damaged roof tiles from Christmas, but the roof jus...

Our Garden, version 2.0

Amy M. posted an article on - Feb 28, 2009, 10:37 am
Our garden was pretty much a failure last year. We were overly ambitious, and poor planners. A bad combo. And then the weeds took over. We did get some good squashes for Dan to turn in soup, and one pumpkin that survived a late frost to fulfill it's purpose as a jack o'lantern. The other succe...

Older kids are mean

Amy M. posted an article on - Feb 18, 2009, 8:57 pm
Nathan's on vacation from Kindergarten this week. Yesterday he got a good break from daycare when a friend's mom picked him up for a few hours. But today, he fell under the thrall of one of the older kids who he only sees on vacation weeks. This child not only forced him to be in some kind of "st...

My good deed for the day

Amy M. posted an article on - Feb 16, 2009, 6:30 pm
Zeppo & Sprite's first home, the Potsdam Humane Society, is trying to win a contest to get a makeover. If you have pets and want to join ZooToo, please vote for them this month. It's much easier then sitting on a roof to raise money for them.
