To the farmstand

Where I live late May through early October are the best months. That is because I can go to one of the many farms and Farmer's Markets in the area and get fresh fruits and veggies. At some of the local places you can even go pick your own. My favorite to go and pick are apples, but I have to wait a couple more months for that. If fact just this weekend I picked up some fresh blueberries and turned those into blueberry muffins this morning. Later this weekend I will hit the farm down the street again to get some veggies for a salad. Unfortunately it is only in Second Life that I can bike to a farm stand to pick up fresh milk, veggies and bread. All the places near me are either too far away or require traveling on very busy dangerous streets.

It's time to head home with my bounty and see what I can cook up with the fresh goodies.

Fruit Not Lollipops!

Have you ever tried to reason with a toddler? It never ends well, someone always ends up in tears and it is usually the adult. This is what happened recently when I tried to have a healthy treat time with my adorably stubborn niece Livy. You see I went through all the work of making, fine buying, a whole bunch of yummy fruity treats for us to have in a little backyard afternoon camp out. Sorry you won't catch me actually sleeping under the stars unless you could a skylight. However a certain small someone had other ideas, specifically some lollipops. I still am baffled about where she pulled those from. I mean here I spent good money on a cute watermelon grill and tons of fruit kebabs. I thought she would love eating them. She obviously likes to eat fruit flavored things on sticks, just not actual fruit.

I took a little breather to try and recoup and not lose my marbles. I finally thought up a compromise that did the trick. She got to eat one lollipop, but only after she ate some fruit, either on a skewer or in a popsicle form. I may have also promised she could have one for dessert after we ate dinner later in the night. I think next time she gets dropped off I am going to have to search her for candy contraband.

Cats!

I never started out with this many cats. You see I got one, but he seemed lonely so I got him a playmate. However they didn't get along so well so I got another. I thought maybe having a third would make things a little better. I was wrong. Somehow in the end I ended up with five cats all with their own personalities.

This little grey one though, if there is a bag or a box he will find a way to get his head stuck. I may be slowly turning into a cat lady, but never shall I admit to being crazy!

Bring On The Cold

It is cool and sunny out today, just the way I like it. I truly can't wait till that is the norm because I really do like the cool/cold weather around here in the fall and early winter. It could be because I love sweaters. This outfit just has that cozy winter/late fall feel to it. Well at least it does to me.
I may not be eager for the snow, but the rest of the good things that come with the cold weather I am so ready for!
