We make the news for the most interesting reasons

Local people will probably see this on the news.  Before you read on, Geoff was there but was not involved.  He’s fine, he was just interviewed for the article.

What’s wrong with this picture?

If you get regular Groupon emails you know that they’re always trying to be a little edgy.  Or, at least sometimes, their humor is a bit tongue in cheek.  This time, however, they either missed funny entirely, or someone re-purposed their Mother’s Day email and didn’t check the results of the Find and Replace function completely.  Whoops.

How cool is this?

JCPenney has issued a new Father’s Day ad campaign that really makes me smile.  It features a family with two dads.  And it turns out this is an actual family, not just actors portraying a gay couple with children.

I guess we’re continuing with the theme

I was reading an article on Boston.com about a rather inspired prank pulled by the graduating class at a local high school when this link at the bottom of the article caught my eye.  It was one of those, “if you’re reading this article then you’ll like this one too!” type of things.

Chocolate what???

Ok, so I admit it.  Geoff and I watch a lot of Bones.  A lot.  But when this popped up in my inbox the other day even we were… confused.  Leave it to Fab.com to send me something like this and think that it is normal.  Normal for a serial killer, maybe.

I’ve seen their other products before. This is the first one that actually made me laugh out loud.

This is from Etsy seller Long Winter Soap Co.  They’re apparently New England people and I totally appreciate their sense of humor.

Our little garden

For over 15 years, I have been a gardener.  Specifically, an heirloom gardener and an organic gardener.  Although I have always had at least a passing interest in gardening and farming because of my grandparents, I developed an intense interest in them after I started volunteering at Burritt Museum and Park (now known as Burritt on the Mountain) way back in 1995.  With some very good mentors (the curator and some experienced guides from the historic park) I quickly learned how to appreciate the older varieties of vegetables that would have been recognizable to someone living in the 19th century.   I also learned about herbs and their long history of cultivation.
