It’s been unseasonably cool today and I’m enjoying the chance to break out a sweatshirt and snuggle inside for the afternoon. Mary is napping, Emma is horseback riding and Elizabeth just woke up from her nap and is now my sidekick at my desk. 
Believe it or not, this is my third post of the day. The first two were for my other "jobs" on the side, (which I can barely call jobs because I enjoy doing them so much).
I did wander outside today to check on my garden after yesterday’s storms came through. And I came home with an overflowing collander of spinach and romaine. 
So tonight’s dinner is going to be a chicken salad with greens from MY garden, eggs from my uncle’s chickens, fresh bread and Molly’s cake (thanks, hannah!)…I knew there was a reason why I stocked up on lemons at the store last week.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that you’ve probably noticed the changes in my sidebar. I’m going to do my best to keep them more up to date this summer. And I hope that the "fresh inspiration" will be changing very frequently, too. I discovered this weekend that one can really drown themselves in flickr. There’s lots of inspiration every where.
oh, i like the new side bar – i need to do some MAJOR updating myself.
your dinner sounds wonderful! it’ll taste even better knowing that you grew it.
Oh, Elizabeth has the most stylin’ bouncer *ever!* How cool is that?!
Elizabeth is getting so big! I wish it were unseasonably cold here. Instead, it’s 90 with more heat and humidity on the way. Blech!
I’ve been meaning to tell you how much I love the new look (and, thanks too!). Agreed… That’s the coolest bouncer ever. And, I so wish we could have your dinner tonight!
Great work on the side gigs. They look wonderful!
My first time on your blog! I laughed, I cried and am only just getting started! Elizabeth is getting so big. And the girls are so beautiful. I can’t wait to keep poking around your site.
that is the coolest bouncy seat! do they make them for adults!
isn’t it so satisfying to go out to your garden and pick fresh produce- can’t wait to do the same.
my daughter would be envious of Emma. She just finished “horse camp” this week and she is all aflutter about horses, etc. Her eyes are sparkling!
What a great little sidekick! 🙂
The dinner sounds delicious!
Your side jobs look great! 🙂 I love Miss Elizabeth’s awesome bouncer. Dinner sounds delish!
mmm sounds delicious. let me know what you think of the cake. so good. and that e is so cute!
I so loved Confessions of a Shopaholic, it’s a great summer read. I want to grow my own salas. very cool.
I made the cake this weekend after your rave reviews–very tasty and light! Thanks for sharing!
