livin green

this is our new grocery getter! a very fun bike and a comfortable ride. we hope to use it for runs to the store or just around town. we are going to challenge our selves to see how little we can use our car. i want to see if we can go a week without driving.





well i thought i would show you some of the things i have been up to this spring. most of the garden is planted and things are just now starting to take off. i have seen some great growth already this past week as we have finally stated to have warm weather. if you have any garden ideas or tips please share. the bees are doing well and i hope to have a summer and fall harvest. 70-80lbs of honey would be great. they are doing an amazing job of pollenating the garden as well as the wild cherry trees in our yard. i am becoming like dad i could spend days working in the garden.

new book...

My book club just chose our next read as The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Anyone read it??

I picked it up last night & didn't realize until then that he wrote No Country for Old Men. I guess he wrote The Road after that. Seems like it will be kind of dark. I'll keep ya posted...

Darcy - I love the "What white people like" website! It's all so true...

What white people like

So our friend, Ben Henderson, told us about a funny blog called Stuff White People Like. I am happy to report that I am fully living within my ethnicity because I do happen to like coffee, the great outdoors, dinner parties, microbreweries, farmers markets, organic food and Manhattan. I also dislike corporations and I hope to visit Paris next spring. The blog is definitely showcasing upper middle class white america. Many of the people I work with hate coffee and have no desire to leave the county, much less venture into an awful place like Manhattan. But I found that I related to a lot of it (though I don't know that we qualify as upper middle class).

I'd love to hear any comments. . . especially things that you really related to. Anyone have a fetish for scarves?
