monarchs

Today we went to the butterfly grove where they winter in Arroyo Grande. We did other fun stuff too. Now Ming is heating up leftover mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy. Parents are watching Price is Right. I can hear the dinging of a bell.

spring cleaning

We put blue garland and silver holographic snowflakes up to decorate for Christmas.  It looks nice in here.  We got them at the dollar store.  What a deal. Sweet potato is good with honey vinegar on it, so Ming tells me.  This morning’s experiment. We’re cooking for Food Not Bombs.  I’m always hoping the beans… Read More »
