CSA

Did I tell you we joined a CSA?
"Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. Here are the basics: a farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to the public. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a "membership" or a "subscription") and in return receive a box (bag, basket) of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season"
Cool huh? Last year we waited too long and many CSA's were sold out. This year we were able to buy shares of Sun Gold Farm and they have a drop location in Lake Oswego so it works out great. We don't have room (or the time) for a garden so we're going to try this AND it comes with fresh flowers every week. Who wouldn't want fresh flowers to gaze upon?
Aidan FINALLY finished his 21 days of meds on Tuesday. He keeps waking up at 5am due to the trains. Even though WES has lowered the decibel on their horns, other trains are now coming through and BLARING. He is also cutting his 2 year molars and has developed this cough that only allowed us 3 hours of sleep last night. Not sure if it's teeth, allergies or what- and did I mention it comes with wheezing? I am praying he does not have asthma. Oh and he started soccer 2 weeks ago. I miss it because I am at work but I am hoping to stop by this week to snap a few shots after my dentist appt.
Little Miss Abby continues to want to ONLY wear dresses or skirts and is now quite fond of Angelina Ballerina. Teacher recommendations went out last week in her ballet class and her teacher gave us the choice of moving her up to the next level, or put her in a 'teacher placement only' class called Pre-Ballet Express.
