Garden Update!
As the rain continues I wanted to update everyone on the status of our beautiful garden. All the veggies are crisp and refreshed. The carrots are almost ready, and the Greenhouse is flourishing!
The orange tree is still fruiting - and those oranges are Taaaaaaasty!!

The greenhouse is bumping with beans, salad greens, carrots and radishes
So beautiful
Little Lola loves to play in the greenhouse

Carrots are almost ready for eating
The rains have been a blessing, and we are all thankful for our tasty vegetables. Erin has left us for a few days to play sleepover games with children in the East, and to visit with Kayla (her cousin) - who spent some time at the Manor. We were pleased to see Kayla off a few weeks ago, after coming into her own in a safe and encouraging space! Midterms are here and the students of the house are feeling the stress of cramming. Maura has moved back in officially (as of a few weeks ago now)! And Michelle has left the Manor, moving just a few blocks away. The full moon tends to bring us outside, gazing up to the heavens in awe. And month-old bagels prove to be a very good baseball. Staci’s 5:00AM bike rides to work have gotten colder, and much wetter. Jill, Lara, Tony and Mason spend most days on campus. Sean Mac-daddy is busy becoming a teacher and playing with Chaco. Sean Burns (aka dreamboat) is lecturing at UCSC, and spending weekends reconnecting with people of the past in the Bay. Tez is busy as always, and is getting pretty darn good at the Indo Board.
These winter months have brought with them busy schedules and crazy times. However, we each gather together most nights around delicious dinners to reconnect and laugh amongst each other.
