I know there is a month for everything, but...

To bring attention to this crippling disease, the Arthritis Foundation is encouraging Americans to observe the month of May as National Arthritis Month. Arthritis affects ~40 million Americans. It is hoped that this observance will bring more awareness of this chronic and painful disease.

I know there is a month for everything but if you know someoene with RA or any other kind of arthritis tell them your thinking about them and say a pray for them.

Fresh Produce!!!

Mike and I just joined a local CSA.
Here is the info:
"What is a CSA, you may ask? CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a subscription program where members pay a set fee before each season. Each week, families receive fresh, homegrown, seasonal produce at a better-than-retail price. The CSA allows the growers (our family) to focus on land stewardship and maintain a productive and profitable small farm. We build community at the same time! Members connect in a meaningful way to their food and better understand the joys and pitfalls of growing that food.

This is first year we are Certified Naturally Grown (see www.naturallygrown.org) on 1.5 acres of vegetable production. CNG growers follow the same as organic standards, but farmers and consumers are the certifiers using guidelines and simple procedures. This is an alternative to Big Organic that many farms are adopting to avoid the quagmire of bureaucracy and paperwork that the current National Organic Program has become."

I am so excited, I love produce! We made Bok Choy for the first time last night, and it was wonderful.

Here are a couple photos of Mike and I that our friend, Lauren took for the travelouge.
