In the neighborhood

We're continuing to settle in to our new space here, and finding it even easier to keep with our primal habits.

We have two close neighbors with kids. One family is gluten-free, the other newly gluten and dairy free. We've been enjoying bonfires and I've shared my paleo treats with eager and grateful mouths.

The local farmer's markets are getting busier with garlic scapes and strawberries bursting onto the scene. The sun is shining for at least an hour or two most days, and we're starting to leave the windows open at night. Why, last night we even got the kids to bed before ten.

I am curious how my commitment to doing for others will evolve in this new space. So far, my love of sharing nutritious food is being well-recieved for the first time.

Keeping a home that is twice as big as our last one still has me a little in the weeds, but I keep following the advice of Margaret Cho's mother: "Just clean little bit every day, and soon whole house is clean!"

My mid-day scramble and cuppa have made their way into my belly (oh, how I have waited for the garlic scapes! They add such joy to my scrambles!) and the sun is starting to peek out. The birds are singing in the trees, reminding me of my childhood in a rambling suburbia. Today I'll take a few more steps in my journey and see what I can see, love what I can love, and share what I can share.
