Day 34

Our day always ends with a glass of honey and warm water. It helps you sleep better and it is a delightful treat.

Day 33

Dinner tonight! Millet and black bean bowl with veggies! So tasty.

Day 32

Fresh local lettuce share from Mud Lake Farms! We have a tendency to forget about the pickup since it is after 5:00, luckily Mom and Dad are members of the same CSA and Dad brought the lettuce over for us! Thanks :)

Day 31

Andge and I had to run errands this afternoon, just the usual bank and grocery shopping. I waited in the car when Andge went into the bank and I was facing this lovely little scene. I love the bright red barn against the crisp white snow. All the while I was taking pictures I was listening to a cool guy on NPR ranting about the highlight feature on his Kindle. It was one of those moments in life to be appreciated.

Day 30

I have been searching for a good pair of hiking boots for ages. All of the new ones I wanted were too expensive and I was not finding any good used boots online. Finally Andge and I went thrift store shopping, I was actually looking for some rubber rain boots that day. I just happened upon this lovely pair of Vasque hiking boots that fit perfectly with a lot of life still left in them. I cannot wait for the weather to get warm so I can give these boots a run for their money.

Day 29

Woke up this morning feeling the need to sew something quick so I threw together this owl pillow. He is made from an upcycled wool skirt from the thrift store and scraps I had saved from various other sewing projects. The edges around the eyes are a bit rough but with practice I'll get better.

Day 28

This could possibly be the BEST dinner I have ever made in my entire life! Though I cannot take the credit for inventing it. This is my version of an appetizer dish that Schmayla and Shmandrew recreated at Christmas time that they had at a Thai restaurant. Crispy fried wontons, a little shredded romaine lettuce, some red onion and seared tuna all topped with lime-cilantro dressing. I am in heaven!
