12 Days of Calendars | December

.

I took this image while I lived on the gulf coast of Florida. Lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruit were everywhere in December! When my sisters and I were growing up in Oklahoma, my mom always put an orange at the toe of our stocking on Christmas morning, a tradition we still keep today. My mom also would poke whole cloves into the skins of oranges around the house to put off the most amazing scent! All of these things are why oranges are a Christmas fruit and a sign of the beginning of winter! To purchase a calendar click HERE! $5 from every sale will go to the National Farm to School Network!

12 days of calendars | November

.

I took this picture while visiting a farm somewhere outside of Dolores, Colorado. I say "somewhere" because I followed a friend there on a very cold winter evening at dusk and after one winding dirt road after another they all started to look the same. It was muddy and cold, but I was promised wine and butternut squash lasagna so I made the trek. My friend was house sitting for these people who had an earthship home, goats, and a beautiful plot of land. They were very self sustainable in that they used a lot of solar energy, made goat cheese and goat milk soap, grew a huge garden and canned everything. During my 24 hour stay I learned how to milk a goat, which is a lot more difficult than it looks. This image of cherries makes me want an ice cream sundae, or a manhattan (and I don't even like whiskey.) Some day I'd like to have a garden so big that my root seller is full of a canned harvest for the cold winter months. To purchase a calendar click HERE!

12 Days of Calendars | October

.

I picked up this pumpkin at the Farmers market and he was just begging to have his portrait made. I mean, look at him! Not only was he handsome, but he made a tasty pie too! I hope all of you are enjoying your  pre-Christmas days. I'm going to attempt grocery shopping today, although I'm dreading the busy stores. It's two days before Christmas and we don't have a tree and I haven't baked a single cookie. Moving will do that to you I suppose. On another note - there are still plenty of calendars for sale! To purchase click HERE! Part of the proceeds from each calendar sold benefits the National Farm to School Network! I can't get them to you before Christmas, but everyone still needs a calendar for the new year! I have to sell them until they're gone!
