SCENES FROM A WORKING MAN’S LIFE<\/h3>\n
Oak City Hemp unwraps a shipment in the building they used to share with Fair Game Company and complimentary chips in a rental car during a series of Pennsylvania audits Bob refers to as “The Potato Chip Tour.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Big and bright, the day before it came full.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We had not eaten these delicious Japanese cabbage pancakes since our friends, Jason and Haruka, moved away and we had never attempted making it for ourselves without their guiding hands and flat griddle. Happily, our efforts were met with success.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sarah’s younger sister, Claire, a fan of “The Great British Baking Show,” slaved over the food for days and it was all as tasty as it looks.<\/p>\n Guessing games and gift unwrapping ensued. Sarah, of course, is the beautiful lady in the tiara.<\/p>\n Sarah’s mother, Shelley, looks playfully formidable as she prepares to slice the cake. Laurence, Sarah’s future mother-in-law reviews her answers to one of the quizzes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A week’s worth of homemade sandwich bread made with 150-year old starter that we’ve been feeding for 2 1\/2 years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Washed and drying on our kitchen counter, both sweet treats were grown at Granite Springs Farm.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first shishito peppers and a hungry squirrel who has not yet learned the meaning of “squirrel-proof.” More glimpses into our little playground here: May Yard and Garden<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Camille puzzles over a big piece of metal at the Jordan Lake Tailrace which became exposed after a few weeks of dry weather.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Can you spot the dove sitting on her nest in our juniper? Hint: one photo shows the nest after the dove has flown off.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We kept an eye on the nest with its two white eggs, and then one day we peered in to see two tiny, blind and featherless babies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The gladiolus that came with the house always blooms in late May and early June. Also in bloom: hydrangeas and red hot pokers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nolan and his Mama Em in their new home.<\/p>\n THIS MONTH’S QUOTES:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cTheater and politics are very simpatico. Theater done well is politics; politics done poorly is theater.\u201d – Jake DeGroot<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEarth will be monetized until all trees grow in straight lines, three people own all seven continents, and every large organism is bred to be slaughtered.\u201d – Richard Powers, The Overstory<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think that we can compromise on transitioning to 100% renewable energy. We cannot compromise on saving our planet. We can\u2019t compromise on saving kids. We have to do these things. If we want to do them in different ways, that\u2019s fine. But we can\u2019t not do them.\u201d – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/span><\/p>\n The easiest way to locate a page or photo from past issues is with this handy Search Engine<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Get the back story via our blog at Plastic Farm Animals<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n A fresh, green garden with promises of food to come, uneducated squirrels, a bridal shower, the potato chip tour, okonomiyaki, sourdough, and dovelets. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n DOUBLE DELIGHT <\/p>\n \n Double Delight, Oklahoma, and Pink Peace came on at the beginning of the month, right on the heels of last month’s Fragrant Cloud.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12874,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photo-album","odd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12821"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12821\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12882,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12821\/revisions\/12882"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>\u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\nMOONRISE<\/h3>\n
