Some people do a “30 things to do before I turn 30” list, well, I’m a little late for that since I’ll be 30 in a month. When I was 15, I did make a goal to visit all of the continents before I was 30. I made it to 5 out of the 7 before… Continue reading 30 Things to Do While I’m 30

I’ve never actually eaten kale and I’ve never grown it before, but the cavies love it and even the rabbits will try a nibble. I picked up a packet… Continue reading Kale and a Notebook
