happy new year!

it's brooke.

i couldn't resist sneaking in to write a blog after i gave heather all the passwords...hee hee. do you think she'll notice?

my family and i are here in georgia..made it safe and sound after driving 20, yes 20 hours with three children.

i have already noticed farmer market signs and literature around. we stopped and bought some produce last week. remember, its warmer here (not by much lately) so it's a little more available.

anyway, my point is: spring will be here soon! get those green thumbs ready to plant a garden! talk to anyone you know about planting one for the first time/planting extra for the hungry in oklahoma! and if you really think you don't have a green thumb then please consider being a volunteer who picks up produce from the markets and delivers it. it's easy, fun and you get to meet a lot of nice folks!

my husband was looking in his seed stash just the other night getting ideas for our garden. it's really awesome to walk outside and pick a salad for dinner. and it's healthy. and cheaper. and you know where your food has been {and hasn't been.}

so, as we start a new year i encourage you to add growgreencountry to your goals for 2010!

until next time i sneak on {unless she changes the password!}

stay warm my fellow okies ~ i miss you.

love, brooke
