Blogging will resume soon. Going back to work has me really busy, then we took off for the weekend and tonight I had to work till 8pm…but I have a lot to say about the last week and hope to find time real soon.
A and I took Mr. E for his three month pictures yesterday. There are a bunch up on Flickr.
One of the things I love most about the fall is my desire to spend weekends in the kitchen cooking with our farm veggies or baking just about anything. This year I’ve taken to cooking multiple dishes at once. Maybe I am up for a greater challenge, or want to spend more time cooking, or it could be that we bought a full farm share instead of a half this year so we have twice as many veggies to work with every week! Last night I began to formulate a plan for everything I wanted to make today.
My day started when my alarm sounded at 6:30am so I could get up and drive our host student to the bus station, while that may sound early, the truth is I would have been awake by 7:00 naturally. I tried to crawl back into bed upon returning home, but I was so hungry that I lasted just a few minutes. A was also getting up. She started the coffee and I made apple oat pancakes. They were so yummy and we topped them with the spiced pumpkin butter we bought on our get away to NH a few weeks ago.
After breakfast I headed to the store to pick up a few ingredients. Once home I began my marathon cooking session. I baked pumpkin chocolate chip bread and zucchini bread (to take with us to the blog partay in NYC tomorrow) as well as potato leek soup and a Moroccan veggie dish. I peeled, cut, shredded, processed, etc. for five hours! I used to be able to stand in the kitchen for hours on end but today I moved a stool into the kitchen to sit on - and my legs still hurt from when I had to stand. At one point I was so tired I knew I should stop cooking, but since I had everything going at once, there was no backing out. I am exhausted from my day…I’m sure tonight will be an early night, which is really okay since we’ll be getting up at 6:00am tomorrow to start our trip to NYC.
If I have any energy left on Monday night, there are more veggies I could work with…really I think I will be happy when the crops end this year…
p.s. the foliage seems to have peaked in the last day or so. I had hoped to get out and take a lot of pictures today, but didn’t end up with the energy once I was done cooking. I managed to take a few pics and they are up on Flickr. Here’s one of my favorites:
I couldn’t resist this one of my cutie boy.
I’m only two days late…at least I am back in the game. I’ll admit to cheating a little this week, as my picture was taken by A. while on a bike ride, but it fits the category and is beautiful. She took this photo not too far from our home yesterday.
A. and I are pretty environmentally friendly, although I am sure some of you would win best environmentalist over us. We try to buy things that are Earth and Human friendly, I try to precycle when I am shopping, we compost and recycle our waste. And here are some photos of us saving the World!
Or shall I say Photo Saturday pics are up. Here’s a preview:
Having the time of my life with my two oldest and best friends. The beach is great, although cold today. If you’re a Flickr Friend, you can see some photos. Not enough time to write a proper post, but missing writing and reading blogs.
All the cool kids are doin’ it…
If you want to be my flickr friend, please comment/email. Most of my photos to date are public, but I’ve just started uploading non-public photos.
A. left early this morning to take the first of three MTEL tests for teacher certification then had to go straight to class until 6:30. 
When I woke at 6am to take my bbt, my cat, the one that sleeps on me, started purring. I think it’s messed up that she knows the sound of the thermometer being turned on and knows it means I am awake, which excites her to no end!
I left early this morning to drive down to Springfield to pick up our baby juice. One vial. That’s it. Lefty is taking her time before making her grand entrance. I had a high reading on the monitor today and I still feel crampy pain near my left ovary. At this point we’re looking at Sunday evening or Monday, but will know more after tonight’s opk.
Western MA and Beyond Partay! I am so glad some of you are interested and it’s not too late to join in. Would a dinner after Noho Pride work? It conflicts with my on-call schedule, but if it’s good for other folks and would draw those from far away, I may be able to switch or just have someone cover me for the time we are getting together.
My drive this morning was really pretty and it inspired me to take a walk when I got home. I brought my camera along. I got some really great photos. You can seem them by clicking on my Flickr icon at the bottom of this page. The fog made for a nice background. And I saw the first maple sugar tap of the season. This always makes me think spring is just around the corner!
