The official, unofficial, last weekend of summer. A little sad, but not really, cause I am super pumped for fall. I have my sweaters unpacked, my knitting started, and am looking forward to eating nothing but apples and pumpkins for a while. I am ready.
Now to get through the next few days of close to 90 degree weather. (Globaly warming… you suck!)
This past week of summer has been great. We have managed to get a lot of work crap done, but also had time to do a little river hopping, have a sleep over with a few littles, and go to a family gathering. The mr, being the most bestest guy, even hand mowed out little yard so we can actually sit outside without being surrounded by 3 ft tall weeds and hay. He is so nice. We did get a chance to pick a few apples from our community garden (not sure of the variety, but they are so good!) and we played on one of the coolest,most dangerous, playgrounds around here. All in all, not a bad way to leave the summer behind.
And now it’s Sunday and I am feeling good. Going to sit around and read, knit, garden, and drink so much coffee. And best part? Tomorrow is Labor Day! Three day WEEKEND!!! so I will probably make tonight a party night and stay up past 9:30 (yes, I am an old lady) and binge watch the rest of season 1 of Playing House (fucking fantastic show) before it goes away and I don’t get a chance.
Lofty goals, but I think I can manage.
So how about you? Is this a three day weekend for you as well? Hopefully so and hopefully you are spending it doing you, and having fun, relaxing and remembering not to labor or at least not labor to hard.
Some internet stuff for you to peruse if you want.

Can you believe it… August already. What the what?
I was in the great big Coscto store this week and saw Halloween costumes and I am pretty sure there was some Christmas shit too. (I wasn’t about to look to closely and fall down that rabbit hole) I mean, jeeze, It’s still summer and I like to think that I live a little more in the somewhat present moment. I have a hard time figuring out what I am going to be doing in 2 weeks, let alone 2 months from now. But man, seeing that stuff really sent me into a time whirl… It’s just flying by so fast.
Anyway, August. One of my favorite months of the year. The farm shares are gigantic (I got corn and watermelons at the last pick up!) and the garden is bursting with so many goodies. The days are still really warm, but the nights are starting to cool off, The wild flowers are in abundance all over. Plus my Dad always comes back to Vermont in August for a long visit (he;s here now!), which means lots of family stuff, a Stem family reunion, lots of hiking, and of course lots of food eating. And it’s getting close to back to school time. The littles are all getting equally exctited/depressed about the going back. I am kind of excited for them to go back too!
My goal for August.. try to check off some more of my summer bucket list and also try to buy some plane tickets to a far away land.( I hear that tickets prices this month are at the lowest they have been in years!) At the same time I want to try not to worry to much about doing a bunch of stuff.. just try to enjoy what’s left of the summer. No pressure!
So what about you? Got any end of summer plans?
I’ll leave you with some good internet stuff from the week.
-I know I have said this before, but this is the house I am meant to live in.
-Cocoon in a tree!?!!…but where do you pee?
–Get it here…IKEA 2016 CATALOG!
-I love a good tub. The World’s Most Beautiful Bathtubs
–Whoa. How Birds See Our World
-This wood is so pretty.
–Different types of summer squash
-I am a plant whore so this makes me happy. A Plethora of Plants in Every Room
-Oh to be one of these littles… The Kids of Burning Man
And hiking and bee pictures from the week
Be Happy and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Today I am going to spend the day hiding inside (it’s suppose rain all day) binge watching Top Chef, while baking as many cakes and cookies as I can. For I stumbled upon the amazing world of aquagfaba (bean water, which when whipped, act almost exactly like egg white). It’s freaking amazing and I now I must devote my life to it. (no, not really).
Other then the bean juice, this week had been good. Lots of amazing clouds in the sky, more super fresh summer veggies, bke rides, gardening, summertime fun. We really wanted to go camping this weekend, but sadly our plans fell through, which is probably a good because I really don’t think my body can survive any more bug bites. I think I might have contracted west nile from the 100 trillion bug bites that I got while strawberry picking. I also might have gotten a little poison ivy (can’t tell if its just more bug bites). Either way, my skin is destroyed and I am ready to tear it all off. Oh well, we did get to spend a day on a river where the mr fished and I played with rocks. Good times.
So today, baking with aquafaba, a little T.V, some watercolor painting, and maybe a little of that stinky pink lotion on my legs. And coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. Sounds like a pretty good day to me. Hope that you out there are going to do the same (maybe not play with bean water, but have a relaxing day)
Some fun and awesome internet stuff to peruse if you are hanging around the old computer.

Can you believe it? We are already getting toward the end of June. This is just crazy to me. I feel like I should have gotten more summer stuff done already. Aaaaaaaaah! Pulling my hair out! Whatever, it’s all cool. I’ll get there (where? not exactly sure) but I think this week was a good start. We did a little road trip to Montreal, a few good bike rides, hung out with some littles that are officially on summer vacation (again. AAAAAHHHHH), a drive to the country to collect wildflowers…. I mean, I did a good amount of awesome stuff this week. I also did a fair amount of not so much fun crap, but we don’t need to go there. All this summer talk got me thinking.. What do I want to do this summer? So I made a list
SUMMER BUCKET LIST
Hike Camels Hump (and some other mountains)
Start knitting a sweater so it will be ready for fall
Fly a kite
A kayaking Day Trip
At least one EPIC bike ride
repot all my house plants
spend a n entire day in bed (or at least at home)
Make popsicles at least once a week
Fly somewhere
go swimming in a river
Clean out the barn
A few good camping trips (can combine with #1,2,3,4,6, and 9)
Road Trip!!! (another one)
Shave my legs and get a hair cut
Every kind of berry picking
I could add a few more, but this is a good start. Do you have a summer bucket list? If so, something you got that I am missing? I am open to suggestions,
Anyway, here is what this week in internet had for me…
– I am in love and inspired by this. STUDIO TOUR: KIKI SLAUGHTER
– A Gallery of Beautifully Eclectic Living Rooms
–Yes, Coffee Can Actually Improve The Power Of Your Power Naps
-Nick and I were just listening to this TED talk. Very interesting. Shifting Time
– I love a good Horseshoe.
-This hotel room, I could live in. AN APARTMENT-LIKE HOTEL ROOM FOR THE TRAVELING PROFESSIONAL
-Your Inner-Child Will Love This Playground Decor I think I want the side.
And some pictures from the week.
The gardens looking good, no?
Sticks and farting noises make the best of times.
Weekly CSA…..so AMAZING!!!
I rode the mr’s bike for a few days after my tire popped. I liked having a basket, I felt like the wicked witch of the west.
HEY HEY HEY!! HAPPY SUNDAY!!!
So what do you guys think of the new site? For reals, I would love to know cause I spent a shit ton of time making it and it would be nice to know if you like of hate it or if there is some weird wonky thing going on that I have not noticed. The sight itself has pretty much the same content as the old one, but is a little cleaner and easier to get to. (I think) And yes, I am still fin tuning so there might be a slight little change here or there over the next few weeks, but other then that….. WOO HOO!!!!
So apart from spending my week rebuilding this site,(I think I might have spent 20 hours on changing around fonts alone) the mister and I have been super busy busy with the rest of our life, a.k.a. crazy June apartment turnovers. Toilets, trash, painting, cleaning… You know, fun landlord stuff. Its been hectic, as usual, but we got it done.. And on top of that stuff, we had a little or two at least 5 different times this week, so needless to say, we are some freaking tired party people here and today this very sunday, we are going to take a break. I see a river, a picnic, and a book in my future., followed by naping and the drinking of lots of coffee.
Note to anyone with wants or needs from us today….Leave us alone! (hehe, not really, but really)
In the meantime, here are a few little bits from the internet I liked this week.
-I am all about this! Trader Joe’s Ex-President Opens Store With Aging Food And Cheap Meals
-If you have a dog…At Vermont’s Dog Mountain, Comfort And Community For Pet Lovers
-Glamorous Gold Kitchen Cabinets & Islands I am not sure, but I think I really love it, although would never want it in my own house.
-Another lovely home I could get down with
-This Guy Crochets Hilarious Food Hats And Wears Them Himself. Need I say more?
-I love this song. All the instruments. Awesome. Ben Folds And yMusic, ‘Capable Of Anything’
And some eye candy from recent park, garden and bike ride adventures.
A little credit to my little sister Barb, for snatching my camera and taking a few of these badass pictures (which ones, we are still disputing)
Wowzers…Is it for real Memorial day weekend? Where has all the time gone? Let’s talk about a week gone by fast. My brain is on complete overdrive and I am having a hard time keeping it from exploding…SO MUCH TO DO! (Not bad stuff, just a lot of stuff) But lo, that’s life right? There is always a lots of “stuff” to do, but today I am going to try and let that stuff chill and maybe give myself a few hours of coffee, (so much coffee) reading a book in the sunshine, gardening, and just some overall chillin.
Hopefully.
And hopefully you party people out there will be able to do a little of the same, or at least the chillin part. It is a 3 day weekend after all (not for us, but whatever)
Some internet fun finds.

A few photos from the weekGoodbye fiddleheads…. Hello ferns
On our way to a geo catch…. And note clothing options for 2 in the afternoon. I am much fond of that little guy wearing a rain jacket without a shirt in when its sunny and 80 degrees. And a pink poke dot bath robe.. I mean, it’s so the cool thing to do.
We didn’t find the geo, but we found this gigantic mushroom. Just as cool, maybe even cooler.
I love brick and there is one street in all of burlington (that I know of) that has brick sidewalks. I like to walk down it a lot.
Nurse lady making food… I compare this to a big foot sighting. I have heard stories that she cooks,but have never actually witnessed it myself. (Just kidding….kinda)
Happy long weekend! (if you are lucky to have one!)

What a week. Was it summer where you are this week as well? I mean jeez, talk about one extreme to another. Oh well, at least the world has turned green, the winter stuff is completely out of sight and I found the box that contained all of my shorts and summery clothes (pants and long sleeves in 90 degrees is just gross) And honestly, it’s been great. In between work, chores and just plan old being busy, we have manage to get a few bike rides and long walks in. Plus all the veggie starts are doing great, the flowers are coming up everywhere and life just has a little bit more of a relaxed feeling. So what if my allergies are turning my face into big red puff or that the past few night have been so hot that the act of sitting has caused me to break a sweat. I’ll take it.
Oh and I can’t forget….
Happy Mother’s Day ladies!!!!

I can’t stop eating it, it’s like eating summer. So good
Have a wonderful day and to all that it applies to…
Happy Moms Day!

It’s been a long, packed, but very fantastic week. Everyday has been full of work, chores, family, and trying to get in a least one good bike ride or walk in. I made a list of a few important points to mention from the past week.
Spring is real, not an imagined season in my head. (HOORAY!!!!).
Banana ice cream is everyones favorite snack
Planting things from seed and watching them grow is magic
Riding a bike with kinda flat tires really sucks
The little people in my family are the best most fantastic humans
Don’t tell a 2 year that ants will bite her or you will end up caring that child around everywhere because she is afraid to walk outside (Anyone know good therapist for a 2 year old?)
Anyways, I am hoping to take it easy today, catch up on my coffee consumption, do a bit of gardening, reading, bike riding, all without pressure or expectations. Everyone should have a day for no expectations.
Some fun internet stuff from the week.

The official, unofficial, last weekend of summer. A little sad, but not really, cause I am super pumped for fall. I have my sweaters unpacked, my knitting started, and am looking forward to eating nothing but apples and pumpkins for a while. I am ready.
Now to get through the next few days of close to 90 degree weather. (Globaly warming… you suck!)
This past week of summer has been great. We have managed to get a lot of work crap done, but also had time to do a little river hopping, have a sleep over with a few littles, and go to a family gathering.

All in all, not a bad way to leave the summer behind.
And now it’s Sunday and I am feeling good. Going to sit around and read, knit, garden, and drink so much coffee. And best part? Tomorrow is Labor Day! Three day WEEKEND!!! so I will probably make tonight a party night and stay up past 9:30 (yes, I am an old lady) and binge watch the rest of season 1 of Playing House (fucking fantastic show) before it goes away and I don’t get a chance.
Lofty goals, but I think I can manage.
So how about you? Is this a three day weekend for you as well? Hopefully so and hopefully you are spending it doing you, and having fun, relaxing and remembering not to labor or at least not labor to hard.
