"Mass Farms Tour"

So yesterday, Stacey and I rented a car to drive to three different farms. The first was Red Fire Farm, which is the farm where we get our CSA share from. I ran in a 5k Tomato Trot race, while Stacey volunteered for the event.

Next we drove to Tougas Farm to pick peaches. We bought a half bushel (over 70 peaches) to make sauces, jams, and desserts!

Finally, we drove to Eastleigh Farm to get Raw milk. We plan on making butter (Stacey is while I type), which gives butter milk, and then some mozzarella cheese, too.

Check out Stacey and my blog for more details.

Happy Birthday, Cyrus!!

Dude, Happy Birthday. I hope # 26 is a good one!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CYRUS!!

Happy Birthday, Lyka!!

Finally, you are 26. I was wondering if you were going to make it!

Hope you have a great day, Malyka!

Happy EASTER!!

 Happy Easter and a Blessed Passover. This is actually the first Easter I can remember NOT attending church. Spiritually it has been different (and difficult at times) this year. Today though, was a GREAT day.

Blue Devils climb that Mountain(eer)

Final Score: Duke 78, WVU 57. The Duke Blue Devils beat the West Virginia Mountaineers in the Semifinal game of the NCAA National Tournament tonight. While you might think I would want the Mountaineers to win, because I grew up in W. Va. my mother went to grad school at Duke. Also my father and brother both went to Va. Tech. So we aren't huge fans of the 'Eers. While I like to see WVU do well, I am glad the Blue Devils pulled out the win. It was a great game by Duke--just too much for WVU.

The next game is the FINALS verse Butler. The Bulldogs knocked off the Spartans of Michigan St earlier in the night. Butler has won 25 straight games. Should be a good match up.

Stacey and I started a compost bin for our kitchen and garden waste. Check out the new post!

Sun Salutaion - Surya Namaskar

What a great way to start your morning. This simple yoga sequence is a easy and bright way to greet the sun each morning. Feel free to run through it more than once, and slower than the person in the video is going. Remember your breath, and focus on the greeting the sun.

If you like, try this mantra:

The eternal, earth, air, heaven

That glory, that resplendence of the sun

May we contemplate the brilliance of that light

May the sun inspire our minds.

Namaste-
-S-
