Asher the Grocery Mule

By
We are super fortunate to live a half mile (0.8km) from a neighborhood grocery store*. Usually, I bike there (with panniers and bike trailer) but on grocery shopping days when Jon has time and I haven't yet walked Asher, the three of us will walk.

Yesterday, anticipating a large load, we put Asher's backpack on him so he could help us out.


It worked out great! He didn't mind at all and we were able to get all of our groceries home without any additional gear (i.e. a personal grocery cart).

Thanks, Asher!

* We actually split our grocery shopping between Beavers (the neighborhood grocery store) and the Fort Collins Food Co-op. The Co-op is awesome for bulk food and household items like spices, flour, shampoo and laundry detergent but Beavers is cheaper for other items like veggies, meat and canned goods. Fortunately, I pass right by Beavers on my bike route home from the Co-op so it's quite easy to do both spots in one trip.

I spy...

I was looking for directions on Google Maps today when I realized that Google had just added "birds-eye" views for Fort Collins. So, of course, I went to see what our home looks like. Much to my surprise, I found that Google just happened to catch us on the morning of March 29, 2012. Our moving day! So, you better think twice before deciding to run around naked in your back yard. You never know when the aerial photography plane is going to fly by!

Chickens Are Scarier Than Crows, Didn't You Know?

The garden is in!  If our Scarechicken does its job, we will soon have a nice crop of heirloom tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, green beans, basil, parsley and thyme! Huge thanks to my parents for their help getting the area ready. It was a jungle!

What's in Your Backpack?

By
I'm on a roll in the advice giving department so I'm going to keep going and pass along another hard-earned tip. This time the topic is clothing and the secret that I am about to share with you is HUGE . It might just save you money and months of psychic distress. The topic is travel clothing and the secret is... Pack the clothes that you like to wear. I know, I know, this may seem like the most obvious advice ever, kind of along the lines of Save Money, Live Better or Drink Water, Be Less Thirsty. But preparing for a long trip alters your brain. You get excited and in America, getting excited makes you want to buy things. Things like special anti-microbial underwear . And jackets that stuff into little pouches. And moderately ugly but extremely comfortable walking shoes . So you start your trip with your new purchases and with some durable, casual clothing that you feel will hold up to the rigorous experience of being washed in someone else's washing machine.
