Before I make the post that I intended to make right now, I feel like I should mention some of the things that have happened around here since last time I posted. Here is a random collection of some of summer.
-----------
-----------
-----------
I moved from the downstairs "guest room" to the upstairs "resident room" making this deal a little more 'official'
-----------
Our gardens were great until a full month of at least one downpour a day. Our little creek became a roaring river, who's banks spilled out over the entire driveway, back yard, fields and lower gardens. Thankfully we had planted some tomatoes in the green house that were salvageable, but all of the tomatoes down below... which was a ton... were pretty much flooded and roots rotted. And we had our veggie stand out by the road for the entire summer.
-----------
I started making chamomile granola. First for fun, and then it got serious. The idea came to me when I realized that chamomile smelled a whole lot like apples. And who doesn't like apples on their cereal? Well, every body BUT me has fallen in love with it. It is being sold at the University of Vermont right now, and as soon as I get my act together, it'll be sold at some pretty big co-ops and local stores. If you want to try some, give me your address.
-----------
Some of my favorite people in the world have come to visit. My mom, dad, sister, Matt, Holli, Kurt... Holli, Micah and I rescued a baby squirrel. Nascarlos, we miss you.
-----------
We have a small dog named Simba living here now. He's the most human-dog I've ever met. And he's starting to get fat.
-----------
Micah and I went to stay at his parents house in Conneautville, PA. We snuck into a huge abandoned house, we saw a red rainbow, we cooked a lot of good food, and we bought a working record player for $2.50.
-----------
We got to spend a day kayaking in eastern vermont in the middle of nowhere.
-----------
We have 2 alpacas living in the back yard. More on that...
-----------
I got a job waitressing at a restaurant/cafe/movie theater in town.
-----------
I turned 25.
-----------
Micah and I have been teaching this after school art class, which I've already posted about... We were asked to do it by the school here, and we had 14 kids sign up right off the bat. 14 kids is a lot to handle! It's been so successful that he and I have decided to keep offering the classes right up till Christmas break. It's a hard job, but it's so rewarding. It truly tests your patience.
-----------
So...
I regret not making any posts for 5 months now. I'm realizing that I have an incredible amount of pictures that I'd like to put up, but without the context, it's just not the same. So for now, they'll have to remain a mystery.
