Veggies like sun too!

6/24/2017

Bring on the summer heat! I am just coming in to take a break from planting and weeding because it's so hot!! Loving it - and so are the veggies. Zucchini's have been waiting for this kind of heat so we may get a few on Tuesday - as well as the first beets and carrots of the season.

Pasta with Lemon Chicken and fresh Vegetables

One of my favourite recipe's is Pasta with Lemon Chicken and Fresh Vegetables. Try this one with, you can substitute vegetables (we have summer turnips, baby carrots, zuchinni that would go beautifully). (I like to add a little mayo into the dish...but that's just me:)

These ducks bring us so much joy. Maybe it's the simple rhythm they bring into our life. As I walk towards the coop each morning I am greeted with excited quacks. Opening the door they exit in a line, tumbling over each other awkwardly, I count "one, two, three.....eight." Waddling around the farm eagerly in search of slugs and other bugs they always bring a smile to my face. Around 5 o'clock this ragtag flock of ducks can be found lingering by the door to the coop - ready to go in for the night. As I live close to the land I seek to live this rhythmic way, tuning into the natural cycles of days and seasons.
