Our Garden

This is Adam and my garden in our backyard. Yep kids, we have a backyard in NYC, very rare but true. We decided to try our hands (or green thumbs) at growing some veggies of our own to reduce our dependence on grocery stores, especially considering the rising prices and uncertainty of tainted food. It's going pretty good so far.


Our maters (aka tomatoes) are growing like crazy. We don't have any flowers or actual tomatoes just yet, but they should be coming in the next few weeks we expect. Our peppers are doing well too. I think I spotted the first sign of a little baby pepper today...soo exciting!


Anyway, I just wanted to share. Oh and that cute little dog is September.

Assistant...I think not.

Something I just realized about myself...I would be a great personal assistant if that in any way satisfied me.

Reality...it doesn't. What sparked this thought? Well I confirmed a beer delivery for one of our "executives" cohorts and he emailed said "executive" back and wrote "I received a call from your assistant on Monday confirming the order." Ooohhh...turns out I'm not an assistant. I have too much attitude and too many opinions for that, but if my heart was set on it, I'm certain that I would do a superb job.

The thing is, I just need to find something that I can set my heart on. It ain't this, that's for sure...but what is it?

An Itch

I have an itch to start something, but I don't know what...

And I don't mean another crochet project or reading another book. I want to start a business/organization. To have something to call my own. To make a tangible impact on the world (selling beer isn't really cuttin' it). I have all these ideas with Adam about what that could be, but we can't translate anything into a tangible plan yet. The one that most fits with our vision for the future is a eco-bed & breakfast and learning center. A place where people can come for a relaxing healthy vacation, and also to learn a little about what it means to grow your own fruits and veggies and to leave this earth how we found it or better. That makes an impact and I think it would be very cool. Ok, I admit, it would be a little granola of us, but what better way to live off the grid, give back to the earth, and teach others how to do the same while providing an escape for them as well.

Anyway, I just wanted to share...
