I will still post here occasionally but felt bad posting non green things here, at the notebook I feel free to post more random things going on in my mundane life. With Earth day just around the corner I hope to see a surge of green activity! I know I'm getting my veggie garden ready for the spring, are you??

Monterey green

Went for a trip to monterey, such a green city I love it.  

GET OUT AND VOTE!!

Happy election day, make your voice official!

Pear-fect!

Another Camera phone quality pic although I finally made it to costco and got a new camera so better pics to come, I PROMISE. I hit up the farmers market again this week and got lots of goodies my favorite being pears! I got a big BROWN bag of them! Perfect! I already have eaten at least 3 thus far. Makes it feel like fall to me and I love this fall feeling (well you know that is in the 80's in CA this time of year) still can't wait to break out the boots. Next week to the farm for some pumpkins!!

Finally a Fall Morning

Today it actually felt like fall here in NorCal. It's Saturday so of course I hit up my regular farmers market. I forgot to stop at the ATM so I didn't have whole lot of cash . So i just picked up a couple fall goodies and I had to prove my tomatoes are still coming strong! I also had to take a pic of the cool pumpkins that were at the farmers market. Grrr I need a camera, the camera phone isn't cutting it.

it's been a while...

I know, I know I've been a slacker and I promise to get back to regular posting soon. Seasons are changing and I have so much to post I mean it s fall which means lots of eco friendly decorations to get, a trip to the local farm for some pumpkins is in my to do list. My favorite local farmers market is about to end for the season which means I have to head to other markets to get my local goodies. I still have tons of tomatoes and basil in my garden. I have been freezing (although my freezer is not as big as my friend Amanda's) lots of fresh and local veggies to make soups and other dishes all winter long.
Unfortunately I have no camera so I will end this post with an old pic and I will report back soon with some pictures =)
Hope you have been keeping it green, I have ;)

Me at the local farm pumpkin patch from years past:

Just for good Measure
