I found this magazine, Urban Farmer last week and I think it was created just for me! I was interested in every article - home dairy delivery, growing sprouts and potatoes, obnoxious squirrels, backyard chickens, city bee keeping and for Aaron - home beer brewing.
Recently when I tweeted a picture of Oscar and Stewie enjoying an afternoon sunbeam someone asked if they really do hang out together. I hadn't thought about it but I guess they do. Where ever one is, the other isn't far off.
In the morning... "You getting up yet?"
Taking a nap.
Getting in the way of me blogging.
They do sometimes split up. This configuration is called "The Bookends".
It is peach season and last week I got a small basket for us to eat. They started to get ripe too quickly so I used them up in some peach pocket pies. Just as tasty as the berry pocket pies.
I was browsing through one of my favorite food blogs when I spotted a post about the Williams Sonoma pocket pie makers. I was excited to see that someone had left a comment pointing to my berry pocket pies post! So cool!
Aaron got me this bird feeder and I just love it. Not only do I like looking at the birds that come around to snack out of it, but I love the shape and the wood design. Lucky birds.
I got some great photos of flowers at the wedding yesterday.
These dried flowers make a colorful decoration on the ceiling.
I loved this picture so much I made a desktop picture of it to share... just click on the size you want and save it to your computer for your desktop pattern.

and here is another one of the wagons by the field... enjoy!
I went to the coolest wedding of my friends Beth and Lisa today. The ceremony was very traditional, but the reception was at an orchard in a barn!
It was like a Martha Stewart Wedding - every five steps I was stopping to ooh and ahh.
An old fashioned typewriter so you could type messages to the happy couple!
Photos of them since they were babies!
Candles in jars!
Lemonade and iced tea in jelly jars!
Mismatched china plates!
Corn on the cob and CHICKEN POT PIE! (chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot PIIIIIIIIIIIIE)
A quiet moment in the barn.
Last week we celebrated Aprille's birthday by going to the South Wedge Farmers Market!
I love granola that this bakery, Small World Bakery, makes - and now they are making kimchee.
My mom said that this kind of kimchee that doesn't have a lot of hot pepper is what they call "water kimchee". Aaron was very interested and got a jar.
I was interested in the brownies that had sesame seeds on. I love sesame seeds so I got one to try. I only got a chance to nibble at it but it was good.
Afterwards we went to the new Napa wood-fire pizzeria they opened by Boulder Coffee and the South Wedge Farmer's Market.
The most delicious thing at Napa? Vanilla bean lemonade! So good! Happy Birthday Week Aprille!
