Where's the beef?

For the past few years we've bought a whole beef from Sequatchie Cove Farms and split it with extended family and friends. It's a great way to get quality grass-fed, unofficially organic meat relatively inexpensively. Some people might think it's silly but I really like knowing where my food came from and even more so that it's healthy and well cared for. We also split a whole hog with family but the bacon disappeared too quickly :( Recently we went out to the farm to get a truck load full of beef. The boys had a great time checking out the tractors and pigs.

Cousins

Noah and Teya
We're fortunate to live near one of the cousins, Teya, whose about six months older than Noah. They both enjoy playing the piano at Nina and Dita's (my parents).

Autumn in the Valley

This is a bit belated (like much of my blog) but I had to add it in anyway. Fall came about a month late this year, I guess because the weather stayed warm for so long. I used to not enjoy the changing of the leaves much because it was a sign that the cold winter was coming. But I've come to appreciate the beauty of the leaves, especially in light of the gray winter that follows.
