A day on the farm at Zoe's Garden

I've worked two Saturday's in May at Zoe's Garden and I'll start working more now that school is out. Today we dug up red sunchokes; a lot of work for a small payoff. I hope to post about the work I do, the things I learn, and the good food I get to eat this summer.

The weather was overcast and 60ish today, which is perfect for working outside. When the weather warms up I don't know that I'll look this happy.

CSA goodies

We got our first basket of fresh veggies this week from Zoe's Garden (http://zoegarden.com). I'm volunteering/interning this summer and I get their weekly basket as payment. The spinach was so good as were the radishes and microgreens! There were a couple things I didn't know what they were so I'll have to ask Farmer Dave next time I go out to the farm. We look forward to 15 more weeks of yummy, fresh, organic fruits and vegetables.

Ogden half-marathon 2011

I just finished the Ogden half-marathon this morning! It was a beautiful sunny day in Ogden, perfect running conditions. This is my 5th year running either the full or half and I hope to do it year after year.

I came in so fast that Yao could barely catch a photo!

finished!

We finished the morning off with breakfast at Jeremiah's-so good! Meg, I missed you today. We'll have to meet up and run it another year.

Double Graduation

WE DID IT! Yao and I both graduated last weekend. Yao with an MBA from the UofU and me with an MNM from Regis University in Denver, CO. We are so excited to be finished and hope to start our new lives with new jobs. (BTW: We're still looking so if you know of something let us know. We're willing to relocate to anywhere but Alaska . . . and West Virginia.) We spent 2.5 days in Denver soaking in the 85 degree sun. It was so nice and warm and we enjoyed ourselves immensely.
