Olivia, figs, and potatoes

As promised, I have definitely been slack with blogging since the arrival of sweet Olivia. Even without much produce coming in right now, we have been swamped here on the farm. There is the ever so time-consuming task of three daughters ages three and under. I have been enjoying my time off work by trying to do some things that are so hard to find time for with working 40 hours a week. The girls, our friend Allison, and myself took a trip on the Light Rail in Charlotte. The family, except Mary Claire, visited the Nature Museum in Charlotte as well.

The one thing we do have coming in now is FIGS! Lots of figs. So... fig preserves time! I made a batch with cinnamon in it that we have been very much enjoying.


I am also getting an opportunity to cook a little bit. Last night's dinner was accompanied with some home-grown okra and some roasted fingerly potatoes Allen grew. This was our first year doing potatoes and they turned out great.
