		<title>time passing by</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;ve yet to mention that we&#8217;re expecting a little one at some point in July. For the longest time, July was a very long time away and it was easy to let that fact slip into the background. But, today we&#8217;re now just 7-11 weeks away (38-42 weeks is a normal gestation) [...]]]></description>

		<title>so pdf isn&#8217;t happening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[there I said it outloud and that&#8217;ll make it true. It just doesn&#8217;t seem feasible with our current schedule and stress loads and financial stuff. So, there, we&#8217;re not doing pdf. We&#8217;ll still come out for a day, at least, to see some folk we like &#8212; though the only option is Friday or Sunday [...]]]></description>

		<title>on account of the rain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About two weeks ago, I learned about a natural living baby fair to take place this afternoon. In usual last minute fashion, I discovered that the usual spaces were already full, but that I could have a table outside, weather permitting. So,began a mad scramble to get things together in time, a scramble that was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fabric and more Fabric</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m in super prep mode right now, preparing for a couple shows and restocking supplies that have been dwindling rapidly in the past few weeks. Yesterday, 28 yards of fabric showed up at my door. Today, I placed an order for 70 more yards. We&#8217;re gonna be drowning in fabric soon!

		<title>don&#8217;t they know?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some folks, 5:30am is a perfectly reasonable start of the day. To others, it&#8217;s god awful early, especially when the sun isn&#8217;t up yet. To our local bird population, it&#8217;s just a point in time in marathon serenading. The birds have been going at it, chirping that is, since about 4:00am. Perhaps they&#8217;re the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh the irony!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At 1:23pm I sent Chris the following text message:
oh man I want a new car with ac. It&#8217;s gonna be a hot summer.
At approximately 1:40pm, I was side swiped by a large GMC pickup truck pulling out of a parking lot. 

Based on the damage and the relative value of my car, I&#8217;m expecting the [...]]]></description>

		<title>MD Sustainable Living Fair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chris forwarded me this recent article from the Carroll County Times on the upcoming MD Sustainable Living Fair. I&#8217;m glad to see this getting some press and I would love to see some more. I should probably start talking about it more since it&#8217;s a little more than a month away.

		<title>A good day for rain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The joy of owning your own house is the reassurance that something will always break. Add 140 years to that house and you spend you time hoping that it&#8217;s not something major. Saturday was a super productive day outside, getting lots of yard work one and what not. While we were watering a re-sodded area, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dinner Theatre: Sports Addition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The chickens continue to provide us with endless entertainment, though Alex&#8217;s fascination seems to be fading a little. We&#8217;re still weighing them daily - I&#8217;ve yet to make a graph that I find useful enough to share - and we&#8217;re still watching them on the TV when we&#8217;re not peering over the edge of the [...]]]></description>

Our chicks are growing like crazy it seems. I&#8217;m working on some charts that I&#8217;ll add to this post on their overall growth the past two weeks. We&#8217;re still watching Chick TV/Dinner Theatre regularly and it is incredibly entertaining. [...]]]></description>
