The Excitement of a Little Girl
Spring has arrived and it is that time to start planting. I've already had onions, leeks, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, brussel spouts, and parsley started by another organic grower in Linwood (some as long as a month ago already!). This is a great arrangement for both of us as I don't yet have my…
Smile...you know you want to!!
This month I'm embracing the forgotten smile. I've recently remembered how much there really is to laugh in this world. Noting it also makes me more observant of all the fun I have everyday too. Here are a few of my laughs of the month, hopefully it inspires some in you too. BTW, did you kno…
How Do You Eat? Does How We Eat Matter?
A few weeks ago I met a young lady with a strong interest in local food. I inquisitively asked what sparked her initial interest in this area. This brave girl told me how she has had a difficult relationship with food that developed into an eating disorder. She explained that by exploring how f…
Gettin' Giddy
This week was full of laugher - it really is the best medicine! I am feeling so tired, overwhelmed, and confused about, well pretty much everything, these days, so it was the ultimate healing remedy. My volunteers made me laugh so hard I started crying and well almost peed my pants! Oh it felt gr…

You Can Do It! The Art and Science of Putting Together A Seed Order!!
This was what I kept telling myself this month as I started to tackle the overwhelming and brain draining task of putting together my seed order. I was trying to illustrate to a friend the size of my complicated spreadsheets I have to figure this out and opened my arms so big I almost smacked some…
Random Act of Kindness Day - THIS Friday!!
Okay, so no matter how tough life can be sometimes and how crappy some days turn out there is always something to be grateful for - even if it is simply for a full tank of gas, that 10 extra minutes of sleep (or maybe 2 hours this time of year for this girl!!), or that you're still breathing (this i…
Ponds – by Mary Oliver
Every year the lilies are so perfect I can hardly believe their lapped light crowding the black, mid-summer ponds. Nobody could count all of them– the muskrats swimming among the pads and the grasses can reach out their muscular arms and touch only so many, they are that rife and wild. But what in…
Candace's Fun Revolution:)
Okay, I decided I just want to have fun sometimes (well most of the time actually, why not?). I think my mom and her crazy sisters got into my blood and now it is just bursting to come out! I decided that I tend to take things WAY too seriously and I just had this realization that it didn't have t…
