How was your week? Was it as straight up nasty humid and gross as mine was? Stupid heat wave.. I was not impressed.
I will be the first person to admit it, that I am not my best person when the tempature rises and humidity levels get so high that it starts to creep into my soul. I go a little crazy/ crazy bitch and just am not pleasant to be around. Or maybe it’s that everyone around me is not pleasant to be around. Either way…. just not good.
And I forget things, like to pick up the farm share this week. Now I am forced to go grocery shopping to buy most of our veggies (we are still getting a good clip from the garden) until next week. And Let’s not mention the pup.. cause he is just as miserable, if not more then we are.
So to beat the heat, the mr and I found ourselves traveling around, river hopping. He fished, I stuck my feet in the water and read, did some watercoloring, or knitted. It was fantastic and probably saved a few of the lives of the people around me.
We also took my little brother and sister up to the Bio dome in Montreal for the day, which was pretty cool. And of course we didn’t leave the city without making the manditory stop at Ikea, where I got myself a nice new green jar and my sister ate not 1, but 4!!!! hotdogs, and topped it off with a dessert frozen yogurt. It was the highlight of her summer. and maybe the lowlight as well. Now that I think of it, it makes sense why she was so quite on the way home. She was in a Ikea hotdog coma.
So yeah, the heat and humidity have finally broke and we are now (hopefully) going to finish off the rest of summer with a delightfully non humid and hot, weather pattern.
And then it will be fall and we will go APPLE PICKING!!!!
Some stuff on the internet this week.
–Is coffee a vitamin? I think so.
-Finally, a fantastic spork.
-Vermont Farms Grow Some Surprising Fruits
-Pop Tart beer… Where will they stop?
–Do animals blow their noses? Good question.
-Good to know. Is washing fruit effective in reducing exposure to pesticides?
–I think I want to be a Globe Maker
-This is my house in Sweden (Someday!?!)
-And my house in San Francisco(One more to my collection)
-An NPR Story About Homemade Vegetable Broth
And pictures from the week.

For a little while now, we have been telling this lady (my little sis) we would take her to the big city up north. She had never been, (which is crazy cause we live so close) and wanted to just explore and take some pictures. So last week when she finally finished school for the summer, the mr, this lady, and I made the trip.
I guess the best way to start a little road trip is with a bowl or egg noodle covered in the smelliest teriyaki sauce ever ( it was 9 in the morning). Gross as hell, but i give her credit for creativity. This lady has a fantastic (and pretty freaking dirty) mind.

And really, what’s a trip to Montreal without stopping at Ikea. It’s like a house ware themed playground. So much tomfoolery!

The mr. wants to know, “is it really frozen yogurt, cause it’s too good to be yogurt?” The lady just wants an Ikea closer so she can eat ice cream and hot dogs all day, everyday.

The balls we plastic and full of water….and after wondering aloud if the balls ever dropped, this one fell onto my head.

Once in the city, we parked and set out on foot. The goal for the day was to walk, see some cool shit, and get a good cup of coffee. All of which we did. So after a few hours, tired, hot and sun burnt (we forgot the sunscreen), we dragged ass back to the car and drove home.
Until next time. (maybe we’ll take her to a strip club)
