Though Brian fought getting chickens for two years, he went chicken-crazy within a few days and we soon ended up with a pile of these:
Which have now grown into gangly teens:

We adopted a rescue kitten, which is slightly crunchy, and we named her Molly, which could maybe be somehow construed as crunchy, if you wanted to try hard enough. She's a darling, except when she poops on the dining room rug. If I were super crunchy I would probably find a way of turning it into all-natural leather moisturizer or something, but like I said, we are only borderline...
Here's our second baby. We fondly call her the Amazon. We are not very crunchy when it comes to parenting. We use disposable diapers and regular mosquito sprays (have you seen the mosquitoes at our house?), and we eat peanut butter and jelly for lunch almost every day...
We are still constantly messing with our house. This is the pantry Brian built in to the kitchen a couple months back. Now we have a place to put all our (non-organic) food. Again, vaguely crunchy.
Our garden is coming along with lots of heirloom tomatoes, squash, peppers, lettuce, kale, spinach, bok choy, onions, herbs, brussels, beans, and cucumbers. That's plenty crunchy for me, but Brian wants an excuse to buy a tractor with attachments so he can dig up a huge garden for next year. Someone stop him...
I've been doing furniture for our house, which I'll show soon, and I've been working on each room little by little. We are loving giving each room a feel of its own with the art and accessories that we fit there. This fabulous beetle pillow reminds me of my childhood pets in Cambodia and was hand-drawn by my friend Rachel from over at the Hippie Homestead. She does all sorts of creatures from the insect kingdom...
So you see, I'm still alive--just busy living, with my little girls, and my hubby, and the dog, and the cats, and our sweet little house, and all the things that fill life up and don't leave a lot of time for updating blogs. But still, thanks for stopping by=)
