The List

I thought it would be fun to make a list of things I love so you can get to know me a little better. The idea was good but then when I got down to making an actual list it was kind of hard. I don't really like "things" as much as I like experiences & moments. So here is a short list with a few things & activities I like with some dreams of mine thrown in there.

Every morning I start it off right--coffee. 

My favorite meal is breakfast & my favorite thing to wear is a nice pair wool socks. 
Smart wool or Wigwam are a must.

 
The goal is to have land someday. 
I would love to have lamb & use their wool to make my own socks. 
Just a dream.


I live off of cottage cheese. 
It is essential to my daily routine.

The first chicken I was ever given was a Rhode Island Red.

 I named her Posie. 

  

I never thought I would get a rooster but I am glad I did.

 I like him. 

His name is Juicer.

My favorite thing to do is garden. I hope to have one like this someday.

Greenhouses are the best.

Harvesting what you grow is so rewarding. 

Tomatoes are my favorite thing to grow & eat. 

Bees are my next project.

Langstroth. 

Raw honey.

The best Kentucky honey is Hosey Honey-it helps fight allergies.

I love beer & the Louisville Beer Store has so many good choices.

Dogfish Head is best. 

Cheese is a huge part of my diet. 

Capriole goat cheese is a must. 

It's local y'all!

Goats!
I hope to make cheese from their milk!

Frye boots--I wear them all the time. 

They are the most durable & comfortable shoes I own. 

I am a sucker for thrifted flannel shirts. 

They are one of my go to comforts. 

S'mores & campfires are two of my favorite things.

Kayaking on the Puget Sound.

Hiking with friends at the Gorge is a regular event.
This is my amazing friend Morgan looking like a prAna model.

I could hike everyday.
This is in Montana in Glacier National Park.

The only hiking boots I'll ever wear.
 My feet have never been happier than when I am wearing my Keen boots on a long excursion.
This was taken in the Grand Tetons on Jackson Lake.

I am an avid NPR listener & Radio Lab is by far the best show on the air. 

I have listened to every episode ever produced & it brings me so much joy. 

Thank you Jad Abumrad & Robert Krulwich.

I am obsessed with local food!
I try to eat seasonally and support our amazing farm to table restaurants.

Harvest is one of the best.
I normally go to dinner there but they do serve a mean sunday brunch!

Rye on Market is a new place & it has been surprisingly delightful. I've already been there three times & I can't enough of their delicious food. I highly recommend their fried chicken & their dark & stormy.

 All of these places are amazing.
I could go on & on but maybe I'll save that for another blog post.

Saving the best for last!
Ben is definitely number one on my favorite's list.

While doing this post I realized there are so many things I love so I will definitely be doing another list sometime in the near future.

ps- I took some of the pictures on this post but I also pulled several of them from the internet & I do not know the source, sorry about that.
