a fun sabbath

boys and i went to do some garden clean-up after church.
we picked up trash, raked leaves, and met neighbors.
it is part of sustainable flatbush.
they are starting a community garden across the street from our new worship space.
it is on the property of flatbush reformed church, the oldest worshiping church in brooklyn.
i don't have pics, but their website might later.

we came home and daddy was starting dinner:

• short ribs.....braised over many hours in wine and herbs.
• farmer's market roasted potatoes with rosemary from our garden.
• the last of the csa tomatoes cooked with butter and shallots for a tomato soup.

watched family movie.
played.
ate.
laughed.
it was a great day of rest.

and this is just too cute:
(she is counting in case you can't figure that out)
