Instagram Roundup: Since I've Been Gone

No Comments »

Sometimes I dress like an English skinhead in the 1980s.
  
My new work shirt is adorable!

I spend a LOT of time cuffing my denim.

I may have been a little over-eager picking my sister up from college.

Curvy & Cool with it.

Got the MOST ADORABLE save the date in the mail!

Flaxseed bread, local honey, salad turnip, fresh strawberry.
Makes a great snack!

I was very pleased with how my makeup turned out.

"Campfire" ice cream from the local creamery:
marshmallow, graham cracker, fudge swirls.

One of my favorite babies that comes to the farm

Been obsessed with this for breakfast & dessert:
homemade granola, banana, strawberries, and chocolate chips!

Sometimes I read farming magazines while farming.

My boss made me DELICIOUS bacon-grease crepes.

For memorial day my dad and I made burgers using fresh, locally grown organic beef topped with Vidalia onions, extra sharp cheddar, chopped lettuce, and a big ol' pickle on the side.

I use antlers in all of my decorating.

Beautiful "Farm Gal" bouquet at work!

My sister and I are absolutely salivating over the idea of a Lily sofa.

I bought a cactus. His name is Bernard.
The reason I bought him? The tag said this is a "red-headed irishman" so obviously I brought him home.

Fresh guac, salad turnips, fresh pesto, and chocolate orange espresso!

The chickens REFUSED to go in the henhouse when it was raining. 
Honestly.

Enjoyed an amazing brunch with my sister at Maison Kayser in NYC.

My sister has double the amount of Alex and Ani bracelets as I have. This will not stand.
But we have matching cupcake ones that we got together in NYC!

We took a tourist-y selfie on the subway platform.
People frequently don't believe that we are related.
Everyone I work with drives a white Chevy. It's awesome.

Grilled corn on the cob with spicy aioli. I love tapas!!

My sister and I tried to get the spare key to leave a father's day note at my grandparent's house.
We failed. But we found a chalkboard! Problem solved.

My boss made me dinner! Grilled cheese and chocolate covered strawberries. 

And here's my boss! She found a turtle in the chicken coop.

Cloud cover at the beach.

Alrighty! So that's what I've been up to these past weeks. Looking forward to what's coming next!

Where I've Been....

I'm hardly known for my posting consistency, but almost two months of silence is a hell of a lot longer than I would like to go.

Quite a bit has changed in the past two months.
I left my job at the cafe (at least for now) and started working at a local organic farm.
On the same day that I left the cafe, I broke up with my boyfriend.

While I've been enjoying these changes (and I'm very confident that my choices were the right ones) I've had a lot of adjustments to make in my day-to-day life. 
I missed blogging, and I've decided to re-dedicate myself to it.
To start, I'm just going to post once a week - either on Wednesday or Sunday but hopefully once I get into a habit of posting once a week I'll be able to increase that number.

I'll be posting an pretty large instagram round-up this Sunday so that you can see what I've been up to while I've been gone!
