Well, I try to make this not all about my kid, but besides the first day of school this week, we also had a fun trip to the fair! Ezra had a blast sitting on tractors, eating corn dogs and going on the toddler rides. While he was doing the latter, we ran into one of his very best friends from daycare, Evie, and man did those two have a great time! It was a fair highlight for sure.I'm just including a few snapshots here because I cannot resist this huge grin on his face. Enjoy! And now for your internet shares of the day:+ Our president is a racist idiot. Maybe you should contact congress and tell them you want the dreamers to stay.+ Some wonderful advice from the internet.+ These dance photos sure are inspiring.

Today was Ezra's first day of preschool. This year is full of new routines with a new school for him, a new studio for me and a dad who no longer has drop off and pickup every day. None of the change is bad, but it is still different, so we are adjusting as best we can. Today, I biked to the school with Ezra in the Burley, and that was really fun. I hope we can continue that for a bit longer -- weather permitting.For your internet shares of the day:+ This sounds like a wonderful and easy dinner.+ Here are some pretty things for your kitchen. Have any of you tried beeswax food wraps? I'm insanely curious...+ I'm trying to be brave about my hair turning gray. This helps.

Hi again! Lucy here - if you missed my first post last month, just a quick note again that I'll be posting once in a while on Shuttersmack!Several weeks ago I visited my friend Mike's farm. It's an *actual* farm, with goats, chickens, fields of crops, barn cats, tractors, etc. -- my city self is continually amazed! I took some photos for fun, and ones he could use for marketing purposes. Mike’s website launched today, so I'm really excited to share some images from my visit!The farm, named Great River Produce, is located near Maiden Rock, tucked away in the beautifully bluffy region of southwestern Wisconsin, and it’s a dream. I had such a wonderful time touring the farm and snapping pictures of crops, animals, and the gorgeous property.Check out some of my favorite images below, and if you're interested, keep up with farm updates by visiting the website! He'll be offering a CSA starting next summer (you better believe I'm signing on), *plus* he's renting out a building on the property as a rental - a farm view that overlooks Lake Pepin? I'm there.
