am i getting crunchy?

at least that is what my husband it teasing me about in the quest for local, seasonal food. of course, when he tasted the fresh yellow zucchini & the fresh blueberries... he could not argue some merit to this adventure.

what we got at the market:
the last of the season's strawberries, fresh young carrots, yellow zucchini, romaine lettuce, spinach, apples, tomatoes, blueberries, & raspberries.
i know that the lettuce & spinach & tomatoes had been picked the day before i bought them. the others, i can only speculate that it was nearly as recent.
there is something quite remarkable about actually washing off fresh dirt from my lettuce and realizing that i bought it from the man that grew it.
and the blueberries are scrumptious.

i had great intentions of making a strawberry rhubarb pie for a party i was going to tomorrow, but alas.... i missed rhubarb season & pretty much found myself at the tail end of strawberry season....guess what is coming though......peaches & nectarines. they will be here soon!

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
