Mellow Yellow

Driving in the car, along Edison Rd., the song Mellow Yellow came on (pardon my spelling if incorrect). We were singing along, not really thinking about the words, when our 4.5 year old asked, "What is this song about?" I replied that I didn't really know, as I'd never thought about the words myself, and I asked him what he thought...a few moments later, after some thought, he replied, "This song, this song is about going potty." Sounded good to me.

On another note...WE DID IT!! We finally signed up for a our local CSA (Community Sponsored Agriculture) Farm. We are so excited. We've been thinking about doing it for years now (three to be precise!), but either missed the meetings, or missed deadlines. This year, we were on the ball, and made it to the first meeting, and signed up before we left. It required a deposit of $150, and an agreement to 3 hours of labor per week per family. In return, we get a bushel of produce weekly, once things start coming up. I'm very excited, as this farm not only does a large variety of veggies, but has berries and fruit trees as well. I think we spent $150 on berries alone last summer, so to really get into this we will not only learn a lot, but will definitely get our pennies worth in GOOD veggies for our family to partake of (none of this out of season cardboard from the grocer). Our veggie list is so long, it's insane...potatoes, onions, beets, greens, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes, peppers, basil, asparagus, winter and summer squashes, eggplant, etc, etc, etc!! I'm excited, and I hope the kids will be too. I know Stephen is.

We are now counting down the days (OK, we have been for awhile!) til #3 gets here...only 2 weeks exactly til the due date. I've been early with the prior two, but I won't get my hopes up too high. Plus, I have a lot to do before she gets here, and I don't really need an early arrival, I can keep busy til she comes--not that I'd argue if she didn't wait, there is something wonderful about not being pregnant!! YAY!!!
