My Weekend

was a very good weekend.
I will tell you all about it.
It began with going to the farmers market on Saturday with Travis and Lauren and a boy named John. There were hardly any veggies, since it's only May. But we did buy two dozen beautiful eggs and some fresh meat. Also radishes, but we ate them all before I could photograph them.
Mmmmmm.
The egg yolks are so ORANGE! They're crazy.
Don't they look pretty? Like they're already painted for Easter, especially the green ones.

Then we went to Travis's parents and picked all the rhubarb out of their garden (Thank you very much!) Then Lauren and Suzie and Emma and I canned some Strawberry Rhubarb Jam.
Delicious!
It was the first time any of us had canned something and we were very successful!

We went to see Babies that evening with Travis's parents and I LOVED it. It was exactly like the preview. Short clips, back and forth between babies.
There was no dialogue and if there were parents talking in the background it was not translated or important.
I don't think Trav's parents liked it very much because there were lots of boobies. The African women never wore tops and we saw all of the women breast-feeding. But it was pretty tasteful, so Travis and I didn't really mind.
On Sunday I used my new jam and new eggs and made Swedish Pancakes. We went through an entire jar of jam the first day.

For church I dressed like a forties reporter... kind of. I wore a white button up shirt and a grey high-waisted pencil skirt and I wore a skinny little tie tucked into my skirt.
I wish I had a picture. I had many compliments, on account of, I looked adorable.
Sunday night we had Cole and Suzie over for hamburgers, using the meat we got at the Farmer's Market. (The cattle was slaughtered just three weeks ago. It was so terribly fresh, and it was free-range and it was local.) And we ate it with homemade spelt-flour buns.
Then the left-over strawberries and rhubarb went into my first ever Lattice-Top pie.
YUM!

What a successful and delicious weekend.
We spent the evening watching Charlie and Lola on Youtube, which is a past time I would highly recommend.


p.s. Listen to Travis talk on the radio here.
He thinks he sounds dumb, but I do not. Lets take a poll. Do you think Travis sounds stupid? Yes or No?
