Farm Share 2008 Week 7

I have already recapped the weekend, so this will be a short post.

And we'll have fun, fun fun

It was a weekend of highs and lows, both figuratively and literally. I caught the cold that my kids had been suffering with all week, but for some reason it seemed a lot worse to me. The worse they have shown was a runny nose, but I went to bed at 7pm two of the last three nights!

Blood Brothers

This really belongs in my July 8 entry, but Todd is back at his post now and finally had time to send me this picture that his wife took of us at Sebago back on July 5th.

Farm Share 2008 Week 6

Friday night, I was waffling back-and-forth over whether or not we should take the kids to the Clam Festival parade, but in the end I decided against it. We had a busy Saturday planned and I hate breaking their sleep schedule. As it turned out, there were huge thunderstorms in the area that night so it was just as well that we skipped it.

Farm Share 2008 Week 5

Before I get to this week's farm share, I'll recap the weekend.

I will choose free will

Dr. Lisa posted a new blog entry yesterday about the Press Herald's reporting of a motorcycle accident in which one of the riders was killed and not wearing a helmet. I agree with most of Lisa's points, but I think we strongly disagree on one.

Farm Share 2008 Week 4

I can't believe it's our fourth farm share already! Before I reveal this week's bounty, though, I'll recap our exciting holiday weekend.

Friday was absolutely perfect weather-wise. Sunny, but not at all humid. As long as I stayed in the shade I was totally comfortable outside, which I usually don't feel until around... October. Earlier in the week, I had bought the kids an inflatable pool and a slip 'n slide. The pool was a big hit, but they couldn't quite figure out how to really move along on the slip 'n slide and I wasn't in the mood to demonstrate for them.

Farm Share 2008 Week 3

Not much exciting going on lately. I took the kids to camp this past weekend and we spent Saturday night there. Dad had a big load of tree-length wood delivered to Minnie's house and we made a good dent in it on Saturday. There's probably 4 or 5 more hours of cutting to be done and then we'll need to split the big stuff.
