Midway

the mighty midway in all its glory, originally uploaded by smcgee

I followed my three-step plan and I feel recharged now, ready for another week. This year was baby's first Minnesota State Fair. I got to see chickens and eat a lot, Jenna took Natalie on the carousel, and we all had a fun time.

Making a guitar is harder than I thought, so I started building a compost bin instead. Progress is moving along a little better on this project. If we end up staying until spring, I figured I might as well get some compost going for next year's garden.

Jenna accused me of never eating the carrots from our garden, so I dug up a bunch. We cooked them into a quite tasty soup. We pureed until it was totally smooth. This recipe is going into the permanent file.
