heirloom tomato art

Totoro and kitty cat...

on the farm

Here are some images from around the farm. Mostly kitty photos because I love them so much. I think I took about a million photos of them on our lunch break. That little orange guy is my favorite. I named him French Fry.

a day on the farm

my weekend

(Heirloom tomatoes from the farm on sale at the farmer's market. It was my first time working the market.)

(Drinks and food with friends.)

(Went to see Chaz's band play at The Upper Deck. Great show.)
Here are some images from my weekend. What you don't see is all the craziness that has been going on around here these past few days. For those of you who don't know, our new dog Bean escaped from the house last Thursday night and has been missing ever since. There's a massive search being held by volunteers and employees of the shelter Bean came from. An airplane searched for him over the marsh and he was even showcased on the local news! Keep your fingers crossed that we find him soon. We sure do miss him and think of him every minute.

I'm sorry I've been neglecting my blog lately. I've sort of become a little overwhelmed with all the fantastic blogs out there which has made me somewhat insecure about my blog, if that makes sense. And also I've been really busy lately. I just started working on a local organic farm and its been wiping me out all the time. It's a lot of physical work and the heat, oh god the heat! But I really enjoy doing it. Today I helped pick poll beans and eggplant. I got to see the new baby ducks that have just started wandering around the farm and soon we'll be picking cherry tomatoes. I can't wait cause when we do it we can eat them as we work! The best part of the job is all the free food I get to take with me. Summer squash, eggplant, arugula, basil, cucumbers...

Here are some other things that are happening:
-Looking into getting a DSLR, finally
-My own garden is doing so well! Planted leeks, fennel, more arugula, parsley, oregano, Thai basil and others
-Getting a little antsy about some new artwork I want to start, which is a good feeling
-Learning so much from the farm it's awesome, like pattypan?
-Going to try to make my own ginger ale and mozzarella cheese soon, I'll let you know how it goes
