Lis's Project 365

We picked up the first share of meat from the CSA today.  When you do this, you arrive at this field and there are little coolers lined up on the ground. You have to walk among them to find the one with your name on it. Off to the side are boxes with assorted parts (like livers and tongues, which we are totally buying next time) and eggs, which we did buy today.

oh look it’s snowing. I guess winter’s really coming.

(and yes, I refuse to accept that freakish October snowfall as part of my reality.)

I can’t believe it took me 338 days into this project to finally take a picture of the Milk Bottle. Did you know that if it were real, it could hold 58,000 gallons of milk? That’s a lot of cows.

At the end of a meeting today, Anthony (left) and Paul pulled out their phones and starting having a light saber battle; they’ve both got the app that reproduces the classic sound.

Naturally, after I told Doug about this, he had to go and download the app himself.

I realized today that I have taken pictures of the snake and the lizard at work, but none of the turtles. When I came into the turtle room today, there was Castor, posing on top of the log, as though he had had the very same thought.

Is there anything more pissed off than a cat tricked into his crate and on his way to the vet? Even the superbly mellow and good-natured Parker won’t take kindly to it.

Once again, my photographic inspiration comes from my weekly run to Russo’s. I remember seeing this bizarre fruit a year ago, and reading that it’s only ripe for a brief time, so I figured I’d better get a picture while I could. My first shot was of the whole basket of these things, but that didn’t really show how strange they are. What I am holding in my hand here is just one fruit.

Doug and I did a little geocaching this afternoon in a couple of parks in the Auburndale village of Newton. We found all three caches too. On one of the trails, we found this directional sign, pointing you to the three possible trails you could follow. You may notice, however, that there are actually only two.

We’ve had an assortment of snakes at work over the last 8 years or so. I’ve come in many times to discover the snake had shed overnight or early that morning, but I have never actually seen the shedding process in action. Until today…

turkey salad, turkey soup, turkey sandwiches and my favorite….turkey pie. Doug made two today, and put on in the freezer for future tastiness. This was a particularly delicious bird, ordered from the  meat CSA that we joined. It was a humanely raised, free range, naturally fed bird, and it showed in the eatin’!
