Dad! Don’t read this post until Sunday!
My dad has many amazing qualities. He can make a game out of anything – including rolled up socks, the packing material from our new blinds, and a big bucket leftover from some construction project.

The past six weeks have been a bit of a challenge in terms of our shopping and cooking routine. The winter farmer’s market has been steadily winding down, to the point where it’s all prepared foods, bread, jams, etc. However, the summer version hasn’t yet started.
