Here is What I'm Loving this gorgeous day!

LOVING the new life in our garden!  Beauty in abundance from the seeds sown last year. . .

LOVING the growth and new additions to the garden.  4 different types of blueberry plants, said to produce 5 pounds each.  And 4 new raspberry plants!  So hopeful and excited for these guys to produce. . .

my kale that I planted in the fall.  I definitely did not plant it early enough, note taken, so it wasn't large enough to eat from over the winter, but it did survive and I will mark that down as my first kale success!  I just harvested a few stalks this afternoon and chopped them fresh into my salad. . . just going to say that it doesn't get better than that.

And don't judge the abundance of other things growing around the garlic. . . just look at the beauties themselves!  Hoping for 19 heads of garlic here.

LOVING this salad:

kale freshly harvested

ruby swiss chard

apple

raisins

toasted almonds

carrot

green pepper

Tossed lightly with olive oil, dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice

LOVING this picture of Daniel and Tirzah and our amazing friends Tom and Sean.  Daniel got to spend some great time with them this past weekend in Wheaton.  Although I was teasing him: Saturday was our all day ladies day, leaving the babes with the Daddies. . . and Daniel drops off Tirzah for Renee to babysit so he can go out to lunch with these guys! :)  Isn't he the best?!

LOVING Mumford & Sons

Absolutely LOVING Hugh Fearnly-Whittingstall.  Oh. My. Goodness.  We heard of this man through our good friends Sy and Mary, and after visiting them almost two weeks ago, we have spent every moment of our free time that we can watching his TV series River Cottage.  Seriously, it is the best thing ever!  Short story: Hugh decides to leave the hectic life of the city to become a "small-holder", basically a small self-sustaining homestead/farm.  This TV series takes you through his challenges and successes and keeps you laughing all the while.  If ever Daniel and I wanted to have a homestead before?  It's like times ten after watching these.  You will love them!  We purchased them on Amazon Prime. . . just in case you decide to watch too!

LOVING that Tirzah's fever has broken and we were able to go to Bible Study Fellowship this morn.

LOVING MaryJanesFarm and her daily journal over here at http://www.raisingjane.org/journal/

LOVING, well now because she is sleeping, but hearing her little pitter patter of feet upstairs, knowing she was happily playing before her nap.

LOVING fresh cream, scooped from the top of the raw milk we purchased at the Co-Op, added to our home roasted coffee.  Oh.My.

What are you LOVING this day?
