We walked to pick up our CSA share from Ledge Ends Produce in Providence today. After choosing our shares from the bin Dunedin and Griffin realized that the last stop on the line held Strawberries. Strawberries are spelled with a capitol S in our house. They are pronounced with all caps, but I thought in print, this begins to get redundant. Needless to say we HAD to stop to sample “a w’iddle bit, pwease Mommy? Griffin wants some.”
As we left the CSA pick up area, there really were enough for Daddy to sample some, but when we got home this was all that was left.
Now both the children were strapped in, but both were covered in red dripping goatees when we got home 20 minutes later. Dunedin must have been passing Griffin some up front in the stroller…
I only got one.

the Herb huntress
Dinner time at our house can be a bit chaotic. Dinner time prep even more so. Mouths and emotions are left hanging open. Especially after day care days when the kids have to transition back to home life whilst hungry. But now that Dunedin has been helping in the gardening process she can identify herbs that we can add to our meals. As she spend dinnerprep time begging to ‘help” and Griffin spends the time hording all of the pots and pans needed for the meal, I have been sending D outside in our little enclosed backyard to get the herbs. She was reluctant but very excited at the prospect of going alone. She explained to me that she needed a ‘hunting outfit’ left for 10 minutes to find it and this is what she came up with. It is summer, mind you.
