This week has been a little busier (and longer) than usual. Jason had some free time one day, so we took a trip out to the Lancaster's Hydro Farm Country Store. We had just bought a lot of produce from Whole Foods and Publix, so there wasn't much left on our list. We bought some cucumbers, radishes, kale and plums. I can't wait 'til next time when we can get more stuff!
Angela gave us a tour of the miniature farm they have next to the store. There actual farm is out in Dover. She gave us lots of great information and let the girls hold the radishes after she pulled them. She has a type of carrot growing and let us try the green growth above ground. It tastes like carrot! If you haven't been over there, you ought to go check it out. They're located at 5329 Lithia Pinecrest Road, just north of Fish Hawk Blvd, in Lithia, FL. They are open Tuesday-Saturday from 10:30am-6pm. You can read more about hydroponics on the bottom of their home page.
This week, the girls and I went down to Sarasota for an A Beka Book show (No, I couldn't wait for the one in Brandon next week. I need my books sooner!). We ordered all of our books for this next year, and should be ready to start August 4th. We'll be doing 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades, and all of the books (after tax) cost less than $300! Yay! Do you know how much tuition in a school for all three of them would be?!? I love homeschooling! =)
I also had a doctor's appointment this week. My health has been improving greatly during the last few weeks. I feel better and better all the time! There are some rough days occasionally, but on the whole, I feel great! Dr. C. had some extra time during my appointment, so we were able to talk for a while. I love picking his brain! He's so full of such great information, and he's so willing to share it all. =) In case you haven't caught on...I highly recommend him to anyone! If you're interested, let me know, and I'll give you his information.

That's great. We've been praying for you to feel better. We get Angela's baskets delivered - the kids are waiting at the door to attack every Tues when they come. Daniel always claims the homemade muffins! (They're on top of the basket of veggies)
BTW - she sells those hydro planters and I may try one. They would be good since you are renting. You can grow lettuce in about 25 days :)
Yeah, I would definitely consider it! When we were there she said that she was helping the Gideons get set up with their own "little farm." That would be awesome!
