7 things you might find interesting
1. I have a 6 year old boy and 4 year old twin boys. We are constantly asked if they are triplets.
2. I've made several cross country trips across America and yet have never spent more than a few hours in every state we traveled through. My father was a person who tried to bet his travel record each and every time we went on vacation.
3. I love to read. Our home could seriously be made into a library.
4. I love to grow a vegetable garden more than I like to have a flower garden.
5. I hate to drive. It's just not a thing I desire to do.
6. We have two dogs and three cats. We love animals in our house. I also love attracting backyard birds to our yard and love learning about the birds we bring in.
7. I homeschooled my oldest last year. Plans are to do it again this year but as always plans are subject to change.

1. Gianina at In Restaurante Gianinei- I love her blog. Yummy food is always pictured.

6. Staci at Designing and Motherhood- Not really a food blog but she has loads of great ideas posted over there. You really need to check out her blog.
7. Becki at My Four Crazy Kids- Not a food blog but I really enjoy reading her blog. I love her outlook on life and reading her blog always brings a smile to my face.

Now for my CSA pickup. If you don't know what a CSA is it stand for community supported agriculture. You pay a farmer in late winter or early spring a dollar amount, for Borski it was $199, and then you get anywhere from 15 to 20 weeks of produce straight from the farm in summer and fall. Borski grows organically which I find to be important and he's local which is another huge factor for me.
We picked up:
about 1lb of assorted salad greens
about 2lbs of peas
about 3lbs of bing cherries
one huge head of garlic
one nice sized thyme starter for the garden
