A Day at the Farm a Night at Play

Thursday was farm day for me and the flowers were  blooming. Caught the little cutey out in the field picking flowers with her grown ups.

                                              

                                             

When I got home I just had to play.

 

As darkness fell, I took some glow sticks outside and tried with limited succes to photograph the light they emitted.  With a little help I grew a glow flower

 

and made a kalidaglobe.

Fresh Garlic from China

I love shopping locally. It gives me great pleasure to support the local farms. I am particularly happy to be a member of the Honey Brook Organic Farm in Pennington. Unfortunately, the farm is not open during the winter months. So on occasion I head out to one of the many local farms and this time went to Shady Brook Farm in Yardley. I didn't notice until I got home that they must import their garlic from China...Now how fresh can it be when it is coming all the way from China. Don't they grow that stuff in Gilroy, California... I know it is across the country, but at least it is not half way around the world.
