birthday week 2011 – day 6 (glorious sunshine)

Slept in.

Went and fetched donuts and danishes while my Dear Other Half cooked breakfast.

Erika, from Green Circle Farm, stopped by to deliver our grocery order. She might come back by later tonight for a couple drinks with us.

I took some pictures of the glorious sunshine outside for you and I to enjoy. So, enjoy!

My week is almost over :(

Wonder what is waiting around the corner for me?

 

NEUC, CSA Apology and Stuff

…though, not in that order.

I’ve been hanging out at the Lawrenceville Little Flea on Saturdays; selling my handmade wares. It’s a really neat community of interesting people and there are always cool finds and friends to make. Things get started a 9am and end at 4pm. Yinz should think about stopping by, digging through old books, buying handmade clothing, sampling tasty food, hearing live music and maybe learning the secret handshake for some homemade sangria (shhh…).

I have many deep and real apologies for NOT sticking to the promise to do better this year over last year in posting about our CSA share each week. The middle of August happened and nothing has helped me get back on track. I skipped taking pictures a few weeks, missed a pick-up and was out of town a week…so, I’m REALLY behind. I make no promises as to when or if I will get back on track (though I really hope I do).

At the end of August we were away in Wakefield/Boston, MA for the Northeast Unschooling Conference. It rocked. I got to meet Jeff Sabo and Ren Allen in the flesh, which was awesome. William and I spent a few really late nights with Ren and Erika Davis-Pitre laughing so much that we were in pain. I got to spend some time talking with Jon Kream (and STILL need to send him information about how to make a forge out of a double stainless steel sink — he’s going to make a sword with Rowan!). I have pictures to upload from three different cameras…I’ll get there people.

Besides Elijah losing yet another tooth (this makes eight) and the fact that he’ll be 7 years old on the 18th, I think that’s about all for now, n’at.

 

Interview!

I was interviewed recently by the Harrisburg Homeschooling Examiner. If you’d like to read the interview, you’ll find it here http://www.examiner.com/homeschooling-in-harrisburg/radical-unschooler-of-pennsylvania

Kindergarten, Here I come (not)

It’s happening…again. So, again, I challenge The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh to rethink their “Kindergarten Here I come” event and message to the community.
