Okay, so I had to share with you the results of my backyard, raised bed, organic vegetable experiment. Of course, we’ve eaten most of the squash, and I’ve frozen beans and squash, and then there is the great tomato fiasco– the store I bought my Roma tomato plants from mislabled them, so instead of getting plenty of luscious roma tomatoes to turn into sauce, we got gobs of tiny perfect cherry tomatoes. Too bad no one in my house likes raw tomatoes. Here is a lovely old basket full of Okra (yuk! my husband insisted we grow these, if only for him), cherry tomatoes, and green beans.
And here is an artistic arrangement of a fat yellow squash and a neat little row of Okra.
Of course, we didn’t actually grow these blueberries that my angelic daughter is holding. We pick these at a local U-pick farm, and today we came away with over 7 lbs! I’m going to be freezing some for mid-winter blueberry pancakes, and I’m also going to try my hand at blueberry jam tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Just popping in for a quick bit, and i had to share my latest find… I got this great organic cotton tank/shell and I absolutely adore it. It has a stylish neck line, with rounded straps that cover my bra straps (let’s face it, bra-less is not an option for some people) and the colors are scrumptious. I think I’ll start collecting them in different colors. And the best part, I got to choose which charity a part of my money went towards (this time, I chose the Jane Goodall Institute.)

I seem to be back in the house remodel mode, so I’ve spent the last few days drooling over every magazine I could find any tidbits of inspiration, mulling over ways to make my home more Green while repurposing vintage supplies, using modern technology to supplement my power and heat, and just decorate with flair and whimsy. Anywho…I’ve posted Dreamin Green over on my sister site. Check it out!
