October 3, 2017October 3, 2017 / thebetterplanetproject / 2 Comments

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” As a kid, this was the question I dreaded hearing because I could never come up with an answer.

Sometimes I really hate living in this country, and in a red state no less. It’s been an infuriating couple of days, but spending time on the homestead helps bring calm. The girls 🐔 have the best view of the sunset, so I went out to join them last night to soak up this view. 🌅
Garden update: tomatoes are developing some color, eggplant has its first flower, and lettuce is shockingly still kicking in spite of the extreme heat we’ve had! How’s your garden doing?
So excited about this week’s haul from the farmer’s market!!! 🥦🍓🫐🍞🥕
Say hello to my newest furry friend!! This sweet girl is a service dog in training! Earlier this year, I applied to be a volunteer with an organization that trains dogs for people with disabilities. After completing an 8-week training program, I finally have my first dog! She will only be with me for a few weeks to help get her exposed to different environments, but I’m SO excited to have her!! I’m mentally preparing myself for what I know will be a rough goodbye, but meanwhile I’m enjoy the time we have together, and reminding myself I’m helping to prepare her to support someone who really needs her! Plus, it’s awesome to be able to take her with me everywhere I go!!
I didn’t even realize we had a rose bush in our yard until the blooms popped up! Such a nice surprise ☺️🌹
This is such an amazing time of year for seasonal produce! My lunch today is a salad loaded with SO MUCH fresh, local goodness, including fruits and vegetables from the farmer’s market (plus homemade pickled onions 😋), egg from our chickens, and chickpeas and nuts purchased package-free! Big thanks to @labelle_eco_life for the salad inspiration!
