Gardening - meandering thoughts
I'm dabbling in biodynamics. It feels a little strange, because I don't really believe that the movement of the stars can change when you should plant things, but I've come across so many otherwise rational people that swear it works that I'm going to try. It means that I can't plant my tomatoes until next Monday. Frustrating. I can plant my ( Read more... ) -
Oh lj, how I missed you
I've been doing all sorts of things that aren't reading lj. I'm following a course on permaculture at NC State, and enjoying learning without the associated stress and ick-factor of having to do assignments. I like learning on my own time, and I get far more out of it. My garden is coming along, and I'm using what I learn in the class to help ( Read more... ) -
Buttons
Wow, I have a lot of buttons. Mostly related to wasting food, and poking babies to make them cry. All I want to do is work on my garden, and instead I have one child that has decided that all my buttons must be pressed at once.

Updatey post
Haven't posted for a long time.. Other priorities, or perhaps less brain to dedicate to getting my thoughts out in a semi-readable fashion ( Read more... ) -
Ella!
Ella's up to 11 lbs, almost 12! She's smiling (especially at Josh, for extra mom-melting cuteness), gurgling, and doing crazy amounts of arm and leg waving. All normal baby things. She still cries to be put down sometimes, but I'm getting (a little) better at reading when that needs to happen. She sometimes fusses and fusses, and won't poop ( Read more... )
