I like to meet people "out" these days. Why clean when it is SO nice outside? And even when it's not, I'd still rather be cold out at the barn. :)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005422562901601859.post-49971253489807325422011-11-13T08:18:09.688-05:002011-11-13T08:18:09.688-05:00So happy that you made the move and have Val with ...So happy that you made the move and have Val with you all the time. Glad things are getting back to normal for you there. You crack me up about the Shimmy Shack and entertaining. So funny.<br /><br />Great about the self trimming. Someday for me! You inspire me!<br /><br />I was just telling Kristen that my husband, Brian, eats Chia seeds all the time. He makes a dry mix of different grains and seeds and eats it like cereal.juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488138405040629084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005422562901601859.post-80251096714755945272011-11-12T19:59:52.186-05:002011-11-12T19:59:52.186-05:00Congrats on the attempt to take on the trimming.

I think you will love learning and I agree with Sma., there are a ton of great resources and help online :)<br />Oh also; regarding your Q about Chia seed for us humans. I tried it sprinkled in my yogurt and on top of salad, totally fine :) Maybe in juice or smoothie too. I am going to take 1/2 to 1 T every other day..it's ENERGY!!!!! I'm curious to how u like it and if you will be sharing it w/ Val too :)Kristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005422562901601859.post-63668257579635307772011-11-11T09:32:29.743-05:002011-11-11T09:32:29.743-05:00Congrats on getting through a major move and so gl...Congrats on getting through a major move and so glad to hear how wonderful it is!

But there are also no words to describe the feeling of opening your eyes to them every morning, and closing your eyes to them every night. Congratulations! <br /><br />Oh, you're a hermit, now. Everyone with their own farm becomes a hermit, as I'm sure you've realized. But, it's a happy hermit lifestyle!A Work In Progresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076863943914879567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005422562901601859.post-48516636136713633632011-11-09T19:06:52.960-05:002011-11-09T19:06:52.960-05:00Good for you!
