Brock-Oh-Lee

Today was a great day to take in the late harvest at Honey Brook Organic Farm. We got the invite from our freinds and members Aunties J&J to partake in taking in as much organic produce as we could carry. We hit the motherload and probably more that we can possibly consume before it turns. Here Snurpy is holding up some of the fresh Broccoli she had just picked. All in all we got Broccoli, Cauliflower, Radishes, three kinds of Turnips, Red & Golden Beets, Chives, Thyme, Cilantro, Rosmary, Parsley, Arugala, Red & Bibb lettuce, Cabbage, Kale, Brussels Sprouts, Radicchio, Bok Choy & Nappa. MMMMMMM Fresh. So wit all of this we whipped up a great big salad and about a gallon of vegetable stock, baked a loaf of french bread and later turned that into herbed garlic croutons. We kept the baker ovens going and along with that loaf we made some homemade cranberry walnut bread and classic cinnamon rolls.

Now That's a bathtub!!

"Leggo Mama! - I'm goin' in" Snurpy must have been thinking when she got a look at the indoor pool at Penn State's Hazleton PA Campus. We stopped by here on our way back home to strecth out legs and give the babe some outside time.

Skyline Drive

Careful Mama!! We took a ride into Shenandoah today first stopping at the Byrd visitor center for our stamp and then hit the story of the forest trail to connect to our 600ft decline to Dark Hallow Falls. The trail goes by the cliffs and there is a warning sign pictured above that needs no translation if you cannot read English! The trip was an easy .8 mi repeater that took under an hour. Much easier than our last visit to this park where a trip up and over Old Rag Mountain brought 3000ft of elevation gain over 7 miles and took all day. Well as the saying goes... "A Baby changes everything." Sometimes for the better. (At least our feet thought so.)
