Morning came too soon! Jax was up at 7:20 raring to go (which is not sleeping in!), and after a diaper, breakfast, and Blue's Clues he's back in bed. I guess he just needed to top off the tank for a bit more sleep. I'm still nursing the sunburn on the back of my neck/upper back and would go lie back down if it didn't sting against my pillow. Hopefully by tonight it keep me up all night.
I'm reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver and really enjoying it. This book is about her family's decision to eat local for a year, growing most of their own produce and some of their own meat (turkeys and chickens) and eating what is seasonally, locally available. There are sidebars written by her husband, Steven Hopp, about various food politic issues, and recipes and menus written by her older daughter, Camille. The book is well written, as her books always are, and the story is well told, but more than that, it is a reminder of why it is important to focus on supporting local agriculture and inspires me to do more. I highly recommend it.
