The Adventures of Melvin: March 2008
http://theadventuresofmelvin.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2008. Lights Out for Earth Hour! We love a good excuse to turn out the lights and luckily Earth Hour. Was this past Saturday night. The idea started in Sydney, Australia a year ago, and this year was celebrated globally. Not necessarily intended to conserve energy, but a nice side effect nonetheless, Earth Hour is meant to raise awareness about global warming. Friday, March 14, 2008. In the not-too-distant future, hopefully we'll have our own veggies. The seeds have been purchased, ...

The Adventures of Melvin: June 2008
http://theadventuresofmelvin.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 27, 2008. The garden here at home is growing like crazy. The spinach just started to bolt, but thankfully we have lots of peas and chard to take it's place. Our first tiny cucumbers have started to show, the tomato plants are taking off, and we have our first zucchini blossom. The thought of all of the tasty food we'll have to eat soon is enough to make me swoon. Thursday, June 19, 2008. Estes Park Wool Market. And did I mention we added another four barely discernible legs to the family?

The Adventures of Melvin: April 2008
http://theadventuresofmelvin.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 27, 2008. What can I say? My kitty is very talented. We took our first trip down to the Boulder Farmer's Market. On Saturday. Lucky for us, the weather was a bit grim, so it wasn't the shoulder to shoulder traffic I've heard is the norm. Everyone there seemed to be in good spirits despite the snow. Kevin and I caught up with Amy and Wyatt, the owners of Red Wagon Organic Farm. And some exceptional cheese from Windsor Dairy. And in today's gardening news, we have baby spinach! This weekend m...

The Adventures of Melvin: February 2009
http://theadventuresofmelvin.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 15, 2009. Weekend at Deer Camp. Magazines, played darts, stoked lots of fires and it was great. Though we only won one out of three, Melissa brought it home with a brilliant bull's eye under pressure. If we were to play more than once every 14 months, we might actually be good! I only tipped it a couple of times, but that's what helmets are for, right? Actually, it wasn't that bad, but Matt did take me up a trail that wasn't so great for a beginner :).

The Adventures of Melvin: May 2008
http://theadventuresofmelvin.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 22, 2008. Spinach. We have lots of it. Lots. But this is all about our first salad of the season. In the process of thinning the spinach, chard and peas a couple of weekends back, we found ourselves with a colander full of young greens. We gave them a good rinse, removed the roots and towel dried them in our finest linen. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Schacht Spindle Co. Inc. View my complete profile.

The Adventures of Melvin: September 2008
http://theadventuresofmelvin.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 26, 2008. With Kickapoo getting smarter by the minute, we needed a foolproof way to keep her and her growing bunny appetite away from the kitty food. Kevin set to work planning an elevated feeding station. What he created was something we almost kept for ourselves. It would have made such a lovely side table. Now the kitties can eat next to the big kids table. They even have shiny new bowls. Hmm.I think we look like crazy kitty people. Sunday, September 21, 2008. Last weekend Melvin hit...

The Adventures of Melvin: August 2008
http://theadventuresofmelvin.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 23, 2008. Melvin has been busy. Here at Melvin HQ, we have been busy, busy, busy. We won't bore you with the details, but here is a quick snapshot of the past 30 days. I whipped up a strawberry rhubarb pie with rhubarb from the garden. We have been grilling pizza with some regularity, the best one yet just this past week. With squash, onions, tomatoes and herbs from the garden, how can you go wrong? We chilled out in Lyons for two days at Rocky Grass. Without getting sick. No mean fe...

The Adventures of Melvin: November 2008
http://theadventuresofmelvin.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 22, 2008. Old rhymes with mold. On our respective birthdays when we were growing up, my brother and I could choose what we wanted to eat for dinner and we got to kick the Cheerios to the curb and pick out one box of sugar cereal for breakfast on our special day. For me it was cheese fondue and Golden Grahams. So to celebrate my birthday, I decided to do one of my favorite things - cook! Mine aren't as pretty as Martha's, but dang were they good. Do you think I used enough cream che...
