CSA-Crop Share

This year, we are doing a crop share through a program called Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). The farm we are going through is an organic farm located in Hutchinson, MN and they deliver to our area once a week. We are splitting out share with Amber and Austin, but I still think we will all get lots of tasty and healthy vegetables and herbs! I will post their website below! There is not better way to get healthier produce without the pesticides and chemicals used when they are shipped across the country and what better reason to support a local farmer!

Plants and Flowers

One of our recent projects around the house has been to plant our flowers, herbs and strawberry plants, finally, now that we have the time! I'm also trying to grow a hydrangea plant in a pot, so we'll see how that goes! I cannot wait until we have a bigger house some day on a good piece of land to do lots of landscaping and gardening!! Until then, this is what we are limited to.....








School's Out for Summer!!!....Well, Kinda!

Hurray! Adam and I both finished our Spring semester classes last week and it feels great! We have spent the last week not using our brains, for the most part, and catching up on things around the house! Adam will have a couple of classes this Summer, but I will not have any. I will only be working part-time and Adam is working on finding a part-time thing, as well. Other than that, we'll enjoy each others company and hopefully spend lots of time outside with Harley! We have a few fun trips planned this Summer, as well. We leave for Colorado next Thursday to visit friends in Denver for five days, a weekend stay near Duluth for Grandma's Half Marathon June 19th, a trip to the Boundary Waters the week after July 4th and then up to Orr, MN with my family for a week leaving on our first anniversary, July 24th! We are super excited for this fun filled summer and we hope that the time only creeps by!
