The Land and the Husband do provide; 2012 Protein Review.

What is a husband to do with a house full of girls?

Well he's to escape as often as he can to be like John Muir and walk alone in the wilderness.

He likes to play Robin Hood in the forest, be like Elmer Fudd tracking his prey, and put some good food on our table in the process.

Here's my pictures of him and some of his favorite provided feasts for us throughout the year. The freezer is still full and tummies never empty.

Love Thy Neighbor?

Or Not?

How many people actually even "half-like" their neighbors?

I think you actually borderline hate your neighbors?

My neighbors LOATHE ENTIRELY the occupants of the structure adjacent their own.

Not gonna write a book about it, but today might be a turning point. They might actually start to "half-hate" us.

Again, not writing a book, or holding my breath, or saying I'm completely guilt free in also not loving them.


My crazed husband, brandishing a small firearm, and the rest of the neighborhood went back to sleep this morning, peacefully, without the "insane-incapable of telling time-good for nothing"..... Roosters.

My fine and dandy egg laying chickens don't need to be Rooster molested anymore anyways.

Don't get all PETA, they were happy healthy, semi free range, roosters, that will now be an impromptu and tasty dinner.


You're welcome neighbors.

Full Swing Summer Garden!

Sometimes I forget I have a blog.

When I do remember I have one sometimes I forget it's supposed to be about gardening and vegetables.

Last night I remembered why we are so crazy about the food we grow and why we love it so much.

We had six vegetables with dinner, squash, eggplant, okra, portobello mushrooms, all grilled just a little olive oil and some garlic salt. Green beans and corn was just boiled.

The mushrooms were the only thing we didn't grow ourselves and as soon as I live in the right climate I'm starting my portobello farm right away, anyways, WE LOVE VEGGIES, cantcha tell?

My mom served us up a healthy vegetable appetite, and I'm glad it's something my husband sees important as well. Add some more to your plate and decrease your steak, stay with meat the size of your palm and fill yourself on veg, your body will say thanks!

We love it, Bug eats everything, Bear gets cut up green beans, eggplant, the things that can be handled easily by my almost one year old girl!
