I love CSAs. Have loved them ever since I heard about the idea for the first time over 10 years ago.
So, how thrilled was I that the lovely Elaine suggested me for a job with the one she works for--Garden of Eden.
Sometimes I pack boxes, sometimes I work at the pickups. Either way, I love it.
What could be better than being surrounded by lovely organic produce?
It gets hot sometimes, but it's worth it.
Nina didn't sleep well last night, which of course meant that we didn't either. And she has been going to school until 3 on her two days a week there. Apparently the combo makes a little girl tired.
After I picked her up I decided to do some gardening, which she opted out of to play in a box I left in the kitchen. I have to admit I was skeptical when she asked if she could get some blankets and pillows from her room to take a nap in the box. When I came in a half an hour later, though, there she was still and silent in the box. Even then I was still suspicious, being familiar as I have become to her possum-like ways when it comes to sleep. Then I saw the drool and realized that possum sleep had turned into real sleep.
So,what did I do? Grabbed the camera, of course! I absolutely had to preserve for posterity and share these adorable pics of her stuffed into a little box asleep.
Larry came home eventually and we decided to let her sleep and delay dinner.
Then half an hour before bedtime I decided to try to move her to bed.
That was an hour and a half ago, she seems to be out. She smiled when I kissed her goodnight and told her that I love her, but we haven't heard from her yet.
Nina has been wanting a dollhouse for a while--my mom got her a nice one but it wasn't realistic enough for her--it was a lot like this, really nice. So we gave it to a friend and I recently bought a kit for a real victorian dollhouse on Craig's List. And now I have to figure out how to make this:
look like this:
Only I'll make some more interesting choices with the colors (this is one someone is selling online for 400$).
The one problem (besides the fact that I'm pretty scared to screw it up or that I won't get it done in time for her 5th birthday in November) is that I don't really have a place to work on it where she won't see it. Oh, and I'll be asking for advice on colors to paint the trim soon.
