Monday Happy

First off, Happy Halloween! I hope the day is filled with all the thrills and candy you could want. OR that people leave you alone and you can go on your way without the bother if that’s you speed. Me, I like it fine, just don’t like when teenagers start knocking on my door way past my bedtime (and theirs) looking for candy. Bro, my lights are off. HA!

Secondly, yeah I know its Monday. Yesterday kind of got away from me. It was the first sunday in months that we weren’t camping and my routine was off. I didn’t really realize what the day was until the mr said something to me during our hike. My head also feels like it is only half screwed on and my thoughts are leaking, whatever that means, and so here we are on a Monday.

Anyway, the week was good. We did our last camp which was excellent and sad (because it was the last), but also kind of weird. Every year last camp ends with at least a snow flake if not full on snow but this year I hiked in shorts, sat far from the fire, and woke up sweating. Sure some people might think of that as a win but I was actually kind of pissed. I love snow camping.

After that it was back to business. I pretty much spent everyday at the studio. A couple more weeks of crazy making, then the markets and then I will slow down. But for now it is go time.

I also picked up the last summer farm share of the year (winter starts in a week or so), the mr and I cleaned the shit out of the basement (it only took 6 years), we tuned on the heat for a little bit cause we needed to check the new system out plus it actually did get pretty frekaing cold, and I harvested the last of my drying beans from the garden. All in all, pretty good.

Last night, after the mr and I went for a good hike, we took Erin and the kids to our downtown pumpkin display and walked around making all sorts of inappropriate jokes about the pumpkins (Coco was out of ear shot). It is crazy how old those littles are getting. Also crazy the shit that now comes out of their mouths. They are definitely not little anymore.

So today being Monday and all, I am going into the studio early and trying to get a good amount of glazing done before any people show up and annoy me. Then it is errands and other not fun activities (bills) but after that the mr ans I are going to take Coco and Judah out trick or treating. This I am looking forward to. If Coco is anything like he was last year, it will be a hoot. (If he doesn't like your candy choice he will let you know and might try to enter your house. HA!)

Have fun!

Sunday Happy

This past week went by so fast. I can’t believe it’s Sunday already but at least it was a super productive week so we all good.

And really, nothing to extravagant took up my time. I threw a shit ton of pots, the mr and I (mostly the mr) hooked up the new cast iron radiators in the downstairs, I spent a bit of time ripping shit out the garden, and we carve pumpkins with Coco. (Judah ditched us and the girl wouldn’t get out of bed so just the three of us. It was nice. It was easy.) The tops of the week (besides the pumpkins, duh), has been the weather..Super freaking fantastic! Vermont done good.

Today is suppose to be another gorgeous fall day. I am super excited and really sad because it is our last camp if the year. What is weird is that this will probably be the first time that our last camp isn’t going to involve snow and honestly am kinda sad about it. I enjoy waking up in a tent freezing my ass off. And snow, I am ready. Just think in a few weeks time… That makes me happy.

I don’t have any links or pictures this week, I am slacking! But I am going to start posting a few new recipes soon so get ready!

Sunday happy

Dang it’s been a long few weeks. Market season is in full swing and I am kicking my ass! But I am not complaining because no, even thought I have basically lived in the studio for the past month, spent days standing for hours on end sling pots at markets, and basically sleeping 3-4 hours a night, I freaking love it. And really, it is just getting busier so I need to give myself a good cushion of time to complain later. HA!

That said I haven’t had much time to do much else. The mr and I are still camping every weeleknd (This is the second to last weekend and I am getting sad about it already!) and we are still trying to get in as much time with the littles as possible, but yeah, nothing much crazy going on.

And I am still trying to get my computer functioning at a normal pace (it takes like 15 minutes to get a single picture to download onto the site) so I will leave you with a few of the pictures from the past few weeks that I can get on here.

Also I will leave you with one VERY IMPORTANT link.

-Get at it! STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS APPLICATION.

Have the best week!

Sunday Happy.

Oh hey! It’s been a little while since I have posted anything so I thought I would pop in and say “YO, How’s it going?” and to share this picture of the annual pumpkin crew.

I’ll be back to more normal posting soon (when I can clear up my computer enough that it actual works). Until then.

Sunday Happy

I am over it. It being summer. And don’t at me about it because I don’t care. I am over heated to the deepest parts of my soul and I just can’t even more. I’m done. And cranky as all hell.

The week was busy busy. Sunday we went to a family birthday party (Happy 1st Birthday Tan!!) before camping. It was stupid hot, I was exhausted from the market, and I tripped and fell by the river directly onto my shoulder right before the party which when I look back at it was lucky for me because I was able to grab some ice from the cooler. I was that girl walking around with a melting bag of ice on her shoulder. It is a look. After the party we went back to the campground. We didn’t do much after that but it was still great, even if I thought I broke my shoulder (I didn’t but there is a nasty ass bruise). Anyway, we mulled around, ate, had a tiny little fire, then crawled into the tent early, watched the fire flies, passed out, woke up, and came home.

The rest of the week was more of the same as always. Lots of pots thrown, lots of veggies harvest from the garden, lots of me being super cranky because it is too damn hot. I dropped off a batch of mugs to an art gallery/shop!, cleaned the fridge out, and spent as much time as I could laying on the floor of the kitchen trying to save my soul. On one of the hot days the mr and I took the littles, Megan, and Barb to the pool. That was fun, even when they had to shut one of the pools down because of a dead animal. Yeah. But there are two pools so it was fine. After the pool it was our house for peanut butter sandwiches, chalk drawing, and coco walking around with one shoe because why not. The boys ended up sleeping over and the next morning was pancakes, more chalk, and playing with clay.

And that was it. I worked at the studio, sweated threw all of my clothes, ate lots of fresh tomatoes (only redeeming thing about summer) and slowly got my shoulder to stop hurting as much.

Another Sunday and the heat is worse. I am not exactly sure of the plan beside camping somewhere but as for activities go, I am not kayaking as we had planned because it is just to hot to be out during the day. A small hike maybe, but really if we just end up at a river for the day, well I am ok with that. Stupid summer….I am so cranky.😁

Internet from the week.

-I leave so much crap in library books (bills, money, rubber bans, pictures…)but I never return a book without shaking it out first. It’s a good habit. From Lists to Love Letters, What Do People Leave Behind in Library Books?

-Huh. Why do so many bikes end up underwater? The reasons can be weird and varied.

-Carnivalcore Has Arrived to Bring the Fun Back Into Our Homes.I am here for it, just not in my house.

-I am exited for some good viewing! Get ready to look up in the night sky at all those meteor showers

-California: visitors to world’s tallest tree face $5,000 fine and possible jail time. I agree, stay away from the tree folks. Humans destroy enough as it is, just leave it alone.
