Been rather quiet again here lately.  Not sure if I am loosing interest in blogging or it is loosing interest in me.  One standard excuse for letting your blog go to weeds is that you’ve been to busy with other things.  The last half of the year, that was certainly true.  I was coaching 2…

Long break since last post, but since I am on vacation for the next few days I thought I would hammer this one out since its been rattling around in my head for the last few days. I may be (really) late to the party, but I am starting to fully understand the duty all…

I’ve been on a journey for the last few years.  It’s not a journey that I expressly chose to start out on; it’s one that I just sort of fell into: a journey to get closer to what I and my family eat.  It started many years ago, before we moved out to our farm,…

OK, that has got to be the best post title I’ve had since starting this blog – it’s a well known saying, its on the topic of the post AND it works in the name of the company that provided the impetus for this post: The news coming out last Friday that the European commission…

So I guess my unannounced summer break from blogging is over.  In the past few months I have just been two busy living life to write about it.  With school for the kids officially back in session as of today, things should start to calm down.  One of the things that’s been keeping me away…
