I am in love with my garden right now. There are so many different vegetables beginning to ripen, it’s intoxicating. So many tomatoes on the horizon, so many gorgeous pumpkins on the vine.

Kale. Whoop T Do. I am so excited. I suppose I better get used to the crap stuff since I’ll be growing it in my winter garden. Does anyone know of a recipe for kale brownies? Or kale cake? Is there anything out there I can sneak some of these leafy greens into and get Read More >>

Yesterday, The Girl Who Thinks She’s a Bird organized the school supply closet for her and Monkey Boy.

The Girl Who Thinks She’s A Bird flipped out when she saw round 1 of the heirloom tomatoes I picked this afternoon. Rainbow salsa will definitely be on the menu for tomorrow night. And here on out until the end of September. I absolutely LOVE this time of year.

Amber and her daughter stopped by this afternoon to learn how to can jam. I was shocked when I had heard Amber had never canned before, so I offered to teach her how.
