Snow In April Brings Tornados In May

Yes I know it doesn't rhyme, but it is true. I woke up to this today..

You can't tell but it really is snowing and it continues. This picture was taken a year ago.

I'm not sure global warming exists anymore.

This past weekend I finally made the trip back home for Easter. It didn't feel like I hadn't been home since Christmas. After awhile it didn't feel like I had even left. Although it did feel that way, things seemed different. Places I used to hang out at are closing down and my friends have new friends. I'm still close with everyone, except their lives are different from when I left.

I learned to crochet again for the third time. Grandma taught me to make circles. I made mine into a fortune cookie, complete with it's own fortune.

It feels like summer is never going to come.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast. Scott added granola to his oatmeal. The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it. Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof. Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

Fall Adventures with the Kids (without Scott)

While Scott was exploring ( I was working...) California the kids and I were back home. Porch breakfast and planning for our upcoming Washington road trip. Today we had plans to go apple picking and hiking. I packed us a picnic lunch for our day. Meadow had earned some money recently and with her money bought herself a music stand. It arrived today. Then the kids and I drove to Whistling Well Farms to go apple picking. We had been here a couple times in the past few years.

Building a Play Tent

I'm still trying to make meals with what we have. I found buckwheat and brown rice flour in the freezer. So pancakes it is. I also needed oat flour. Thank you grain mill. Not sure this grain mill is worth it since we use it four times a year. Meadow's been putting her learning tower to good use. Meadow loves to feed Peanut. She gets mad at him whenever she's trying to pour food in his dish and he tries to eat whatever she already poured. I think it would be more appropriate to say Meadow likes to dump cat food in a bowl. Pancakes with whatever fruit we had plus bacon on the side. Whenever I eat pancakes I always feel really hungry an hour later or I feel cloudy. These pancakes actually make me feel full and energized. I'm thinking we need to continue with our Sunday brunches throughout winter. Since we no longer have to rush to the farmers markets our mornings can be a little slower. We didn't have any plans for the day so I s...
