good stuff

I'm down for the count early :(

We were cutting wood this morning and I stepped wrong, twisted my ankle and wanted to faint/puke/die. I couldn't put any weight on my foot, so we went to the emergency room and I was xrayed. I have a bad sprain. I'm in an aircast and on crutches. Crutches suck ass so much. Being on crutches is going to be my workout for the next week or two.

We had two weeks left before my surgery to get the wood done. My wood days are over. I think I can run the handle on the splitter though.

Silas is coming tomorrow with a friend to help Kas. I hope they can get a lot done, because after that, it's all up to Kas.

In the meantime, I'll have a vicodin with a beer chaser, thanks!

My sister is right

I know, I know...coming from me, that's a huge compliment!! :D

If you read this post from back in January, you will see that she recommended Farmer Boy Greek dressing. I am now addicted to it and when I see it in my local grocery store I stock up on it, it sells out FAST!! It is really super as a marinade too.

Thanks Amy!!!

Back from Dallas!

Wow. It was the most incredible time I've had in a very long time. We rented a huge huge house and had such a time!! It exceeded my expectations in every way.

Here's a funny picture we took:

Our garden is doing great. We have so many cucumbers!! We've been making jars of pickles with them.
We have the usual things like peppers, onions, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, potatoes, squash, basil, rosemary, kohlrabi, eggplant, corn....but the most unusual thing we planted this year is artichokes. Yes, that's right, you CAN grow them up here. We started them really early inside and now we have little baby artichokes in the garden. YUM!!!
Yesterday we picked an eggplant and made eggplant parmesan. OMG it was so good!!
It's nice to have a garden, weeds and all!!
