Hello.

How is your week going so far? For me, it felt like Friday, yesterday. I feel completely off this week … maybe it’s the full moon, maybe it’s because it’s the end of the month, maybe it’s the weather… maybe it’s the holiday weekend I’m looking forward to.

Whatever it is, things just seem a little wacky & wobbly this week. But, it’s not stopping me from throwing in the paper towels and getting down and dirty in the garden! We harvested Calendula flowers yesterday and enjoyed some of their leaves in a green smoothie. The flowers and leaves are perfectly edible. Pretty rad, if you ask me!

Besides, my funky week there’s lot’s of rockin’ 411 coming through the green wire this week…

so let’s get to it, shall we…
