tricia {she's a troll}


last night, we had company.
tricia came home with marian
and stayed overnight.
fittingly,
tricia lives in marian's world civilizations class
with her good friend, trevor, and the other trolls.


she enjoyed jan's mac & cheese for dinner
she played bananagrams and read books
she did a little homework
marian made her a cozy little shoe box bed
she had oranges and toast for breakfast
she caught the 7:10 bus with marian

what a treat.

tricia,
with your good manners,
sparkly star bellybutton,
and ever-eager grin,
you are welcome any time.

earthly delights fall harvest festival 2011


despite the deluge,
the event of the season happened today in boise:
fall harvest festival 2011
there was good food and live music
lots of cool t-shirts for sale
{please contact the farm if you would like to purchase one}
in addition to the others, 
i made 3 extra special shirts
since we live in america,
the festival would have been incomplete
without a healthy dose of competition.
and, mind you, it was pouring rain:
a sack race
a few 3-legged races
that's team casey above with the lead
then ned & marian won.
these are their prizes

there was the most adorable
cupcake walk
lemon-thyme cupcakes, yum!

those farmers throw one heck of a party.

earthly delights farm
is now accepting new members
for the 2012 season.
for more information, look here.
