A Birthday...

It's a big day today.  My hubby is riding a 20 mile fundraiser ride for Charity for his birthday.  Danny's Fundraiser Page  He's allocated his donations to go to a local high school, Common Ground, that teaches through organic gardening.  It's a super cool place and we went there a few weeks ago for their maple sugaring festival.  Joey (and us) got to see how maple syrup is made and we got to sample some of their organic eggs, produce and syrup.  It was a super good time.  Joey was a little afraid of the chickens but Danny chased them around a bit.  We're planning on going to their seedling sale and festival this coming month.  Supposedly they go all out and have food and balloons and face painting for the kiddos.  I'm really stoked.  I plan on getting my tomato plants from there later on in the season.  I've already got so much in.  I just transplanted some things to my vertical garden this morning.

I've got more stuff to put out but I'm waiting on my buckets to get much further.  Danny's also going to be planting some things on his porch, but those are up to him.  

I made some homemade whole wheat english muffins the other day,they turned out awesome!  I did make one fatal mistake with them though.  Since I made them myself, there were no preservatives and I forget to refrigerate them and had to throw half of them out.  But they were delicious while they lasted.  I used a recipe from Budget Bytes.  Here are my pics of the process.  

And here are some of our recent impromptu trip to the beach:

skipping rocks is fun for all ages!

That's it for me for today! I have more to do before Danny's Birthday party tomorrow.
