CSA

The Old North End Farmers Market is located less than 500 feet from our door.



I really do need to invest in a camera other than my iPhone.





This is my amazing CSA Farm basket that I picked up from Samara CSA Farm

It included
-a huge bunch of garlic scapes
-bunch of onions
-strawberries
-dill
-spicy salad mix
-swiss chard



Chickens!!!




The strawberries were a giant hit because they were bit sized. Everything bite sized is good in my toddlers world.

Hope everyone has an amazing Tuesday!

Stolen ideas!

I haven't been blogging for a few days, mostly because I had a very sick toddler. I also have been having a few 'issues' so I am using all of this as my excuse.
Anyhow, after a relaxing weekend at my inlaws in the land of zero cell service and dial up, I am ready to blog!
Little man and I went to the library today. The Burlington library has a radical kids room! I pretty much grab a few books and sit alone while my toddler runs around fondling everything.
My tubular book picks today are:

Must do's are:

Hope everyone having a nice day! Or at least enjoying a bit of me time during nap time!
