The first CSA box

Today, we picked up our first box from the CSA we joined. We now have a refrigerator full of vegetables and a couple of pots of annuals. The first box included a head of lettuce (we chose red leaf lettuce), a bunch of radishes, a bunch of beets (looking for a recipe for them now), some arugula, spinach and chard. We'll be eating at home this week for sure!

As with last weekend, this weekend flew by again. I needed to deadhead my rose bushes and weeded a little bit. I. replaced some of the wire fence we have tied to our backyard fence. The land back there is not entirely level so the wire fence prevents some small doggies from crawling under the regular fence. Alex was able to walk right between the fence slats so the previous wire fence ran the length of the regular fence. Now it just spans the last two sections, where the gap between the ground and regular fence is.

I finished Water for Elephants :

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
After reading the first few pages I was in love with the book. However, the further I got into it the less I liked it. I couldn't connect with the narrator and became frustrated with his cowardice. However, I have to say that the ending was a complete and pleasant surprise. I'll definitely read more of her books.

It's hard to type with only one hand and with Pogo on my lap pawing at me for pets, I'll sign off for now. Have a great night.
