Earthquake of 2013

(i'd give photo credit if I knew where it came from - got it off facebook)


Yes it's true.  We had an earthquake.  2 actually.  And Mike didn't feel either one.  I've felt two quakes since living here and many more in my lifetime and Mike has still not felt one.  This earthquake was a 5.7 and centered in the Greenville area (near Susanville and the cabin).  Fun little shaky shake!


From facebook:

"Woke up Cole this morning and told him we had 2 earthquakes last night. His response was "did anything fall off the walls?" I told him no and he said "oh, that's good" and went on his way. There were adults whining on tv over a few cereal boxes that fell of the shelf! ;-)"

Foothill Root Farms

Just this year a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) has started in Meadow Vista.  It has been started my a guy Mike went to high school with and his wife on the Simpson Ranch.  We opted not to buy in this year, assuming we were going to have our massive garden.  And that's not happening.  Boo. 

Luckily on Thursdays they are selling produce at the farm from 3-7!  If I get there early enough then at least we can get some fresh produce! This time around we got butter lettuce, carrots, cilantro, and turnips.  The gorgeous fresh eggs came from my boses chickens.  YUMMY!

There's an awesome old covered bridge on the ranch too!

Cole's first book

Cole wrote and designed his frist book!

"All about T-rex's"

It reads from right to left instead of like a normal book.  :-)  The only help he had was with spelling, if he asked.

Cole's first game pitching

Cole pitched the third inning of his game tonight against the Sandgnats!  It was so fun watching him and he really loved being able to do it.  He onlyhit one kid which was amazing considering he's in kindergarten and I would say he pitched at least 40 balls.  Maybe more.  Way to go Cole!
