15 days... I can almost taste it, but of course the countdown is accompanied by the whirlwind that is everything that needs to be done before the end of the year!

I did start to write a post for Wednesday, but I found the words wouldn't flow the way I wanted them too. The gist of it was that this was a wonky Mother's Day for my family.
My sister was celebrating her first Mother's Day and my mother was marking her first Mother's Day without her own mother. Bittersweet...

I am so loving my CSA boxes. I'm loving trying some of the recipes in the weekly newsletter. Right now there is a lot of lettuce. You'd think I'd be losing weight with all this salad I'm making... NOPE!
This week, I've made Strawberry Risotto, which was yummy, but I'll admit, needed something ~more salt, maybe?~ as well as Quiona & Kale Patties, which were delicious. This might be my favorite way to eat Kale, aside from in a smoothie. Last night I made Sweet Potato Linguine with Browned Butter Sage Sauce.

We had a surprise visit from my sister Evie and Baby B yesterday. My mother, who is Baby B's caregiver is away this week and Evie wanted to get out of dodge quickly because the person that took over yesterday doesn't take hints to leave so she got home from work, grabbed the baby and met us at my house. For all her troubles Baby B is one sweet, happy girl!
Evie is definitely counting down the days until my mom gets back!

I went for a two mile run around my neighborhood the other night. My neighborhood is crazy hilly, so it was a heck of a run. Then I got home and found out there would be yoga in the park yesterday evening. Needless to say, sitting down or descending a staircase is a very unpleasant experience this morning. Good thing my classroom is on the main floor!
