Veg

Well, the CSA is forcing me to eat more veggies this year! I guess that was part of the plan. I have a refrigerator full of glorious herbage waiting for attention. I've especially enjoyed the multi-colored, farm-fresh eggs. They're as nice to look at as they are to eat.

Last weekend was our annual Memorial Day camping trip with the in-laws. We went to Bennett Spring for drunken charades and guitar-playing galore. Jimmy & I drove over to Ha-Ha Tonka--one of my favorite places, anywhere--for some hiking and a picnic Saturday. Some of the sights:




Back at camp, everyone napped and nephew O ate rocks. Hey, that's what camping's all about.

This weekend, I've taken up tennis. I've played AT tennis before, or anyway I've chased balls around and tried to hit them! Trevor's decided to go out for tennis this year, and he's been trying to get me to come play with him. So yesterday I did, and had a great time. We played three hot, sunburned hours with his friend T & my bro K. My kiddo was excessively pleased to beat his "old" momma almost every set. It was fun!

I also really enjoyed backing up my guitar teacher's grandpa's fiddle earlier this week. Playing music with other people is new, and scary, and wonderful. Anybody wanna play?

  2. 1. I need photography lessons from you!

    2. My husband grew up just down the road from Ha Ha Tonka. He has great stories about riding his horse and bike there as well as playing in the spring before it was all closed off. Every year we go back with the kids. How about those steps?!
