Feed Store

This morning we took an excursion out to the grand opening of the farmer's market in Grand Prairie.  We bought some homemade tortillas and new potatoes, and are so excited about eating both.  A few weeks ago Zephan bought some new potatoes from the market in Dallas, and we cooked them with fresh rosemary from our new garden. It. was. awesome.

On the way home, we stopped at a nice little local feed store to buy diatomaceous earth (food grade!) and fencing for our peas to climb.  There was no fencing, but we did buy original recipe Dr. Pepper in a glass bottle (made with real sugar, so . . . healthy) and now we know where to buy any kind of pepper plant you could ever want.  And we're thinking about buying some strawberry plants.  Plus Silas got to check out the bunnies and parakeets.

Katie has decided that we definitely need to go back, if only for the Dr. Pepper and the feed store smell.  It reminded her of hanging around the MFA with her Dad and grandma as a kid, which invariably ended in wanting one of those suckers they always had by the cash register in the cool stands.

Visits

Last weekend we went to Austin to visit Zephan's uncle and aunt.  We had a great time with them and the kids and enjoyed doing some touring around Austin. 

This weekend Katie's mom and brother will be in town for a choir conference.  We are super excited to see them!  It's been a month since we moved here, and it's amazing how much the little guy's changed. He cut a tooth a few days ago, he's sprouting more hair every day, and I've even caught him doing a baby push-up.  Grandma will be so happy to reacquaint herself.
