months again?

So it has been months since I last wrote. Surprise surprise! In a quick recap, we decided to go to Florida spur of the moment which meant 3 weeks of crazy planning, especially since we were leaving the day after Emma's 1st birthday party. Our trip went extremely well, Emma had a great time. The weather was beautiful. Then we came back to cold and rain...figures :-) Then it was time to dig up the yard for a garden. We are trying our hand at planting in the actual ground this year...of course for the 2 weeks following the planting it has been freezing cold and rainy, so I have no idea if anything will actually grow. I am hopeful...but we'll see. I also have my containers full, which is a plus, although again, not sure how well they will do this year. I have always had the containers on our second floor deck. Not this year, this year we actually have a renter up there (as of this weekend), so no plants up on the deck that is sunny all. day. long.

And now to top it all off, we are all sick. Matt was sick last week, so sick he had to call into work, which I have never seen him do in 10 years. Then Emma got sick...and now me...right now it is just a sore throat, so I am crossing my fingers that will be the extent of it...but really, am I ever that lucky? No, definitely not.

This week was our first CSA pick-up for the summer. I was very excited about that. Emma and I drove over to the farm and looked at their new goats (they added 15 goats this year). They are so cute! I wish that Matt would let us have some goats...well then we would have to deal with the city too...not sure goats are in the cards for us at our current home :-) Anyways, today's pick-up consisted of:

4 big bags of spinach
4 bunches of beet greens with baby beets
a bunch of radishes

I also picked up 2 dozen eggs, you cannot beat farm fresh organic free range eggs. Mmm! I figured I could make some fritatas with the eggs and spinach.

That's about all that is new right now. I know I keep saying that I want to write more, and I do, I just haven't had the time...or the energy when I do have the time! But, we can keep our fingers crossed that I will actually start writing more :-) In the meantime, here are some pictures to enjoy.
