114/365. lemon pound cake.
how do you make lemon pound cake even more awesome? with lemon zest and organic valley cultured butter and a few blueberries. super good recipe from america’s test kitchen made by odin and his cousin!
113/365. the lake superior sauna stones are aging well.
the sauna stones from a secret, undisclosed stretch of yoopers say you can find some of the world’s best sauna stones. after 7 years of getting water tossed on them and throwing off steam, they’re looking great.
snowdeal sauna trivia – the heat shield on the left is left over metal siding from 2004 when organic valley finished its then new headquarters.
112/365. because Frida is an Unabashed and Unrepentant Garden Thief.
we basically didn’t get much of anything out of the garden last year because of her – certainly not any tomatoes. so, now i’m putting fencing around the garden which is why i have 8 eight foot fence posts ( would later realize i need 9 ) and 100 feet of fencing in the jetta wagon. i didn’t think it would fit, but it did! the posts ran to within a few inches of the dashboard which didn’t feel like the greatest idea if i had to make any quick stops.
111/365. knick knacks.

day 3944 – 110/365. Odin Plays Odin!
he’s standing in the center monologuing! the whole class did a great job in their school play. very proud of them all! while odin isn’t shy standing up in front of a crowd hasn’t been one of his strengths. doubly proud of him for doing in and projecting his voice.
odin in his garb. not quite as impressive without the eye patch ( d’oh! forgot to have him put it on ) but a great costume nonetheless!
109/365. the book that started us down a long, curvy path.
it’s hard to remember exactly when – probably close to 20 years ago – kris bought a 1961 edition of rodale press. she wanted to garden more and wanted to be organic which started us down a path of thinking about where are food comes from which many years later was a big reason why i was very excited to join organic valley ( 9 years ago?! ).
