Uh, my response is still EWWWWW! I think I will stick to sushi with avocado. California style, I think it is called. I cannot think of a better way to push me toward being a complete vegetarian, but including eggs from properly raised hens and organic cheeses. The whole insect eating thing gives me the creeps. As my friend’s grandson says when he doesn’t want to eat something,” Mimi, I can’t want it!” .

Actually, I’ve eaten some bugs that my aunt brought home from Africa. Of course, they were chocolate covered grasshoppers & ants. (no pun intended). And as I think over the years of gardening with my family, I know we’ve eaten a few bugs from cabbage heads & broccoli heads. A regular part of my diet? Probably not!

It, of course, is VERY DIFFICULT to get over the fact that they are “bugs”, but perhaps if one did not know and ate some of the dishes it could be done.
It’s true, we do eat many things that others would “EWWW!!” over, so we should not be so quick to judge.
And, one must admit there are certainly more “bugs” than any other animal protein source out there.

Beautiful picture. Hope you have a wonderful birthday tomorrow :). Always Michele Hieb

I never heard of Flat Stanley but what an awesome idea for kids to share with pen pals and learn about new places. It looks like Flat Stanley had a fabulous time visiting the farm and enjoying the variety of experiences. Where will he visit next? Maybe Florida? He might get a kick out of the orange groves and crystal blue springs around here.

I never heard of Flat Stanley, but I think it he will be making an appearance at my grandgirls’ home soon!

I am not sure what this is? I see it has something to do with water, but the handle is unfamiliar looking. This city girl is so cluless!

What an adorable duo! I love the great glasses they chose best!!

They are so-o-o cute! Makes me miss my grandgirls. After this, I’ll be giving them a call. Thanks for the smile-for-the-day!

Red Farm tools?? Nothing draws me in like an old red barn and vintage kitchen utensils, but I never knew that farm tools were also red?! ***swoon***

Remember Nat King Cole’s song, If I had to choose just one day? ….Lots of daffodils, were showing off their frills…..Loved that oldie!

Glorious daffodils ushering in Spring and chasing old man Winter out!

Every year I look forward to my annual “Mother/Daughter” trip. Some of them have included the Country Living Fair in Atlanta and Columbus; a 3-day flea market in Florida, Airboat ride through alligator swamps, and even scuba diving with the giant whale sharks at an aquarium. I wonder what this year will bring. You are lucky, like me, to have daughters. I hope you have as many adventures as we have.

I can envision sunlight going through these onto my walls bringing all different kinds of lights!
