She was really great at getting me around to meet a few people to help me with my project and I got a few numbers for some people who I think can really help give me some great information! </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The day was long, fun, and wonderful! Lots of little shops I got to look at around the place as well as looking at all the goodies people from the market were selling. I met a few people who in general just wanted to chat with me about my project and get to know a Mikamy Meadow volunteer!! :D </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Amy is such a dear to work with, she is so knowledgeable (I can't say that enough), and is being a tremendous help with my project! Here are some picture's I took of the day! Please enjoy them, and stop by this market if you live in or near Columbus Ohio!</span></span><br />

</span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In my talk I covered 5 points on how to shop at the farmers market, and why you should support the farmers market. </span></span><br />

<span id="goog_640105799" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I went on a tour of the Rain Fresh Harvest green house in Plain City, Ohio. I loved it! Such nice people, and a great place to look around! Barry answered so many questions everyone had, was very knowledgeable and was over all it was a wonderful tour! </span><br />

<span id="goog_640105799" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I suggest supporting him, and I hope that if you are near his business you'll top and take a look! While you are there, I really hope you get a chance to meet his sweet, lovable, adorable chocolate lab! :P </span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Yesterday I started training for my 5K that is in June or so. I only did a 12 minute mile, but it's pretty good for a chubby new runner, right? :P </span></span></b><br />

I think running will be a great thing. Some time alone. Just me and my ipod blaring in my ear! I think we are going out to by new run shoes tonight. I'm excited! </span></span></b><br />
<br />
<b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Our herbs are starting to come back up! I was outside walking to the barn and I smelled the sweetness of Peppermint in the air. I went to check on the plants and sure enough our sage is turning green and we have little peppermint sprouts coming up! How exciting!! </span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>I also noticed our chives, thyme, and chamomile popping up! Below is a little piece of peppermint. </b></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Other wonderful things to add into a trail mix are yogurt covered cereals, flavored popcorn, and assorted dried fruits.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Most of the trail mixes from the store have items that are high in salt content. They also contain more "fun foods", than healthy things. Making a trail mix at home gives you the power to choose what goes into your mix, it also yields more, and for less money. Even if you buy all organic, it's more than likely still cheaper to buy your own ingredients separate, and mix them up at home. </b></span><br />

One thing I learned was that I don't have much patience for something I am not very good at, Lol. I made it through though and managed to learn how to make a semi decent basket weave design. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Learning how to make simple cakes is a great way to save money. Even if you take a short class, the cost of buying a cake from the store adds up with every birthday, holiday or special event. Plus you control what goes into the cake if you make it yourself. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Most libraries supply many books on cake decorating, and how to get started. It's really easy to get a hold of them, and the supplies. It's cost effective too. </span></b><br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">So this weekend I ended up being busier than I planned and I never got around to making bread. I did however find a few older recipes in the cabinet I intend to try throughout the week!</span></b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">Today, I did get around to making some banana bread for a friend. He recently gave us a large amount of bananas so to repay the favor I made his family a few loaves of bread. I used the same recipe I use to make my farmers market bread. The recipe only yields one loaf, so I had to do the batch separately. I've found that double batching makes it turn out really badly. So I just take the extra short amount of time and make the batter separately. </span></b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

We also sold our foundation herd buck to someone living in Canada on Friday. We’ll miss the little guy, but he’s done so much work in our barn over the years, practically everything I have comes from him. It’s bitter sweet to see him go, but I know he’ll be just fine in Ontario. </b></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />

We also acquired some more New Zealand white's on Sunday. I’ve raised them before, but got out about 2 years ago, fall 2008 actually. It being my last year in 4H though I really wanted to raise a Pen of 3, and take some commercial singles to fair. These two does and one buck will be bred next month to produce three month old babies for my fairs Pen of 3. </b></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />
I’ve shown commercial and fancy at the fair. For recent winnings we took Fancy and Commercial Grand Champion in 2008. We didn’t do a Pen of 3 that year. Then last year (2009) we took Reserve Grand Champion Fancy, and we didn’t take a Pen of 3 or commercial due to my selling out in the fall of 2008. </b></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />

His first time being on my show table, I think he wanted to have a look around! :P He’s a cute little (big) guy! I'd guess them each weighting about 12 pounds or so. Full grown New Zealands.

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">I am doing this very in depth 4H project this year. I am striving to learn more about organic, greener, self sufficient living. Getting back to basic farming. Hands and shovel kind of deal. Making what you need, and using what you make. My family already gardens organically every year. Herbs, veggies, and fruits, we also purchase a lot from local growers in the summer during farmers markets. However, I find myself wanting more of a self sufficient life style. So for my project, I am trying to locate farmers in my area and am asking them to please, please help me with this in depth project. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">I’ll frequently be updating about the process of my project, as this blog is mainly to document my progress and share what I’ve learned from my project. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">I’ve made a list of things I want to learn more about, and things I want to change in my life. They are actually listed on the side bar as “things I want to accomplish”. Since it’s Friday, and my family ran out of bread last night. I am going to make some breakfast bread (banana), and some sandwich bread. I might also make some rolls or something. In case you didn’t get the hint, I am starting the “only eat homemade bread” part from my list, Lol. I’ll have to update later this week with pictures and maybe a recipe or two! : ) <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">I think I’m also going to try and get the clothes line put up this weekend, and re-pile the compost pile. It’s quickly traveling outward. Which is not good at all! <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">In case I never mentioned before, I also raise rabbits. Mini Rex to be exact. I raise and show them. I sold one today to someone living in good ol Canada.

The name is actually kind of random. I'll tell the story.<br />
<br />
I am sitting in our first day of Finance class with all my friends. I've never met the teacher before, although he’s one of my friend’s dads. Class starts, goes on. Half through the teacher asks us to make a list of ways to save money. I’m excited. I put things like “re-chargeable batteries, garden, buy locally”, ect. Eco-friendly type things. I announce what I have after several kids do the same… the teacher laughs and says “ooh, your that girl, huh”. When I asked what he meant, he said I knew, Lol. <br />
<br />
So. I'm starting this blog to document my adventure in life, it’s also part of my in depth 4H project. I'll be trying new things, talking about old ones, and in general showing the world how I am choosing to embrace life. <br />
<br />
My goal for this blog is to document me trying new things in life, and discovering/leaning about the things I’m interested in. <br />
<br />
I'll try to update as often as possible. For now, it's nice to meet you. <br />
<br />
I've got finance class tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to seeing my teacher. He's a pretty fun teacher, and well, even though I'm "that girl being me", he actually finds me rather interesting to talk to. <br />
