9/25/2016 You know those leafy green tops that always look so appealing on a freshly picked bunch of carrots? Well, next time you find yourself with a pile that’s bound for the compost bin, try whipping up a batch of fresh carrot greens pesto. The greens have a very subtle herb flavor with a just the right amount of sweetness that make this pesto irresistible: http://bit.ly/1KzwYy2

9/27/2015 Meg) We took our Tabitha on an excursion.
We stayed next door to NannyJane and Grandpa with Uncle Brian and Aunt Ashley and their kiddos just down the lane in the Forest Service campground we stayed in. I’m sure you’ll be seeing many more pics of NannyJane’s new glamper, but I’m sneaking you a peek for now: http://bit.ly/1GazRkV

Well, as I was telling you about Susan Odom’s historical “mad lib” discovery in the American Girls Handy Book, I stumbled onto a trove …
First, The American Girls Handy Book, originally published in 1887 … http://bit.ly/1JApYNr

10/4/2015 (Meg) We took our Tabitha out again. On the way home, we stopped to stretch our legs in the middle of Washington state farmland.
The gravel surrounding the silos was a perfect spot for a quick game of tag, but when I came around the side of the camper, I found Stella hunched over the dog’s water bowl with a handful of the stray wheat berries ... http://bit.ly/1LrgQlR

10/5/2015 Go ahead, ask my granddaughters … I am positively mad for the madcap fun of Mad Libs.
Yup.
So, imagine my delight when I learned that gals like me were goofing around with “libs” long before the template took on a trademark. Leave it to Susan Odom to discover such a treasure.
Who’s Susan, you ask? I’ll tell you on Raising Jane: http://bit.ly/1OTbyzX

10/8/2015 Running, playing, dipping and dodging …
High-energy dogs look like a lot of fun in photos and dog-food commercials, but when it comes to family life, many owners find they just can’t keep up with constant canine craziness. As a result, a whole lot of peppy pups end up homeless. A chosen few are lucky enough to become “conservation dogs.” But what about others?
Happily, the “performance dog gear” aficionados at Ruffwear recently realized the potential for perfect partnerships between active people and energetic dogs: http://bit.ly/1R1hfJX

10/10/2015 (MBA Jane) For this week’s Farm Kitchen/Unprocessed Kitchen Expert Level Merit Badge, my plan was simple: My girlfriends and I were going to get our significant others (not to mention small ankle biters … ahem, I mean, children) to eat more salad.
You know. Bunny food … http://bit.ly/1GBUsPg

10/13/2015 (Meg) Family business and embroidery are kind of our thing here at MaryJanesFarm. Or at least, they’re mine—either one always piques my interest and both together most certainly do!
So when we stumbled across the beautiful embroidery work of Sassy Spurs, I wanted to make sure to share: http://bit.ly/1K6VtPz

10/14/2015 (Meg) Of course, whenever I hear of a mother-daughter team accomplishing something, I am all ears. Especially when they’re tackling big stuff like Judi Shils and Erin Schrode are.
Mother-daughter team Judi and Erin founded Teens Turning Green in 2005 to educate local teens (and anyone else who would listen) about the harmful ingredients in cosmetics and personal-care items … http://bit.ly/1OC1IkT

10/15/2015 Last weekend, the last of the warm summer breezes visited the farm, causing my cows to romp around the pasture in delight, cavorting in caprioles worthy of a Viennese Royal Lipizzaner stallion.
What is “capriole” you ask? I’ll tell you on Raising Jane: http://bit.ly/1GICBGm

10/17/2015 (MBA Jane) For this week’s Each Other/Get ‘er Done Intermediate Level Merit Badge, my friends organized a sneak attack. You see, they knew about my Merit Badge hobby, and they were waiting for a good opportunity to strike.
One of them decided to move.
Yeah.
That glorious life change of changing houses. Boxes, boxes, and more boxes, as far as the eyes could see … http://bit.ly/1VXWjoO
