Today was Rick’s birthday, and it was an utterly quiet, relaxing day at home. It was cute to see Sophie drag the bag of birthday goodies out this year – it was so much easier to get her to do it this year than last year. :)

Here are a few items he received.



Organic cotton shirts, Made in Canada from Green is Black



Organic hemp socks, Made in Canada from Rawganique



Compost thermometer, from Lee Valley




Organic fertilizer, also from Lee Valley



Tonight’s dinner. Fresh sea scallops from the local poisonnerie, and this wonderful naturally cured bacon, also local.
