Spring is here!


We had the world's most gorgeous, sunny, 65-degree weekend, and all of the flowering trees have really popped. Unfortunately, I spent more time writhing in pain from back and pelvic discomfort than enjoying the weather, which was incredibly disheartening. However, we still managed to have some good times, including eating all our meals out on the patio (with our awesome free-off-Freecycle patio set), grilling hamburgers, and hanging out close to home. This morning we made a half batch of crepes (which we realized was really a very respectable amount of food for two people), and tonight we made chicken stew over biscuits.


We also scored a 4-liter mason jar (which will be perfect for the bulk beans, popcorn, or flour we've got coming from our co-op this week) off Freecycle, and on the way to pick it up, we passed a Kelty Meadow Baby Carrier sitting near the curb with a "FREE" sign on it. SCORE! We've been hoping for a framed baby carrier we could use to take the baby hiking, and now one has found us. Between the pelvic pain and the extra weight I'm carrying around these days, any step toward becoming active again is incredibly exciting to me...
