CSA 365.277

what is CSA you ask? community supported agriculture, i answer. we joined the stillman farms CSA and today was the first pick-up the bounty was plentiful despite it being early in the season. we got radishes, golden beets, argula, swiss chard, strawberries, spinach and lettuce. i am excited to play with greens in my cooking! (ok i'll be honest i'm excited to taste the things that will makes with the greens!)

1000 degrees 365.276

this whole pregnancy things makes me feel like i am 1000 degrees all the time. while will tells me i am cool to the touch i feel like i am burning up. i have complained in the past about the reverse effects of the thermal camera on the isight, so invert all the blue to red and you will get a sense of just how hot i feel.

ugly ducklings 365.258

I know that I now notice babies (of all types) more than I did before, for this I blame the fetus, but as I walking to class this morning, i had a flash forward walking with a kid and seeing this scene. I wouldn't be able to just walk by. We would have to stop and watch the baby geese and most likely talk about it. Usually thoughts like this overwhelm me, but today I was oddly at peace with the idea of it.

tomato plant? 365.237

when will and i planted these little seeds, i'll be honest, i didn't really expect it work. I mean
for the left half of the tray we took seeds from actual tomatoes, (the awesome cherry tomatoes from the "tomatoes of the world" they sell at trader joes) but they are growing like gangbusters! since will and i live in the city and have limited access to garden space we are offering out many of our tomato plants.. do you live locally? would you like a cherry tomato plant all your own? shoot me an email and we can arrange it.

pink snow 365.234

spring has sprung! our street is littered with petals from all the pink flowers that have been blooming lately. its quite nice to walk down the street and see pink petals lining the street instead of trash remainders after pick-up day. as my neighbor put it, its like pink snow!

pride 365.230

last weekend will and i planted seeds for marigolds, basil and tomatoes. while i realize that seed germinate and grow because of nature, i can't help but take pride in my little seedlings as they push their way out of the soil, (from front to back marigolds, basil and one little tomato sprout)

prettiest tree on the block 365.227

this is prettiest tree on my block. yay for spring!

signs of spring 365.171

the last couple days nature has been really trying to make spring happen, here is the evidence. i can't wait for spring flowers!

after a romp 365.154

jackson was exhausted after his romp in the falling snow. he just needed to crash, his life is rough!

on our way to tampa 365.140

as we left boston it was snowing and sleeting, our plane had to get de-iced. as we rose above the cloud cover it was beautiful a sea of clouds that seemed peaceful from this vantage point. the weekend will be full of family and fun and warm weather. i am already wearing my flip-flops!

deliberate blur 365.118

deliberate blur
coming home from school i was struck at the beauty in my daily commute.

though not a great picture i still like it.

miracle road 365.115

the snow looks lovely on our street but the real miracle is that you can see our street. the plow truck came through and *gasp* actually plowed. perhaps tomorrow our street will not be a sheet of ice. also i should be doing my finance homework instead i am posting.

redwood 365.98

today we went to Muir Woods, which is an accessible walk in the woods from berkeley, though the drive there made me a queasy (think windy road + lots of fog.. so you know you are on a cliff but can't even see how far down it goes) this is will standing next to a tree... a big tall tree.

this is me and the bestie walking along the path... discussing such important things as sneaker vents...

head in the sand.. er snow 365.83

today it snowed over 6 inches in about as many hours. sadly will was stuck driving home for 3 hours but when he (finally) came home (and after a large glass of scotch) we went on a walk with jackson who marveled in the depth of the snow and often looked like he was burying his head in the snow

winter wonderland 365.73

while waiting at the t on my way from my internship the snow was beautiful.
sadly my camera couldn't capture its beauty but squint your eyes and pretend.

fall? 365.31

today after class i wandered over to the main campus, (to further aid in the procrastination but also to go to the amazing library to get work done) the only evidence that it is in fact fall was this tree.

does this bother anyone else?

dear al gore,
global warming is out of control. its late october and i am wearing a t-shirt and walking around outside in the 80 degree weather. please use your nobel peace prize to to fix this.

love,
veronique

today in nature (or our backyard) 365.23

today was bring the plants in day, while we were doing that, i noticed this hanging on our tomato plants and then promptly ran inside to get my camera.

first one to comment the type of bug correctly gets a (not yet determined) prize.
(will, you can't play!)
