Four of my friends and I signed up for a LivingSocial deal for a 1.5 hr aerial arts workshop. We’ll be hitting the ribbons on a Saturday morning in mid-May. Hopefully followed by a shared bottle of wine after stretching ourselves to oblivion. Because, you know, after one class I’m sure we’ll look just as amazing as the fine folks pictured above. I can’t wait. This adventure screams of amazing hilarious fun.

Ted and I will be going in with a friend of ours to split a share of the harvest at Peacework Organic Farm through a local CSA (community supported agriculture) group. Basically, from May-November we’ll stop by the Abundance Co-Op. every Thursday evening to pick up a box of produce fresh from the farm. We don’t know what will be in the box each week – just whatever is in season in upstate NY at that time and whatever was harvested at the farm that week. In exchange, we pay a small amount of money on a monthly basis and agree to two acts of service – 1) to go out to the farm to help pick the crops or weed the gardens or whatever they need help with for four hours at least once during that six month period, and 2) to sign up for one shift at the distribution site divvying up the produce from the farm and readying all the boxed shares for other members to pick up. It helps keep a local farm family in business throughout the season, we get fresh organic seasonal spring, summer, and fall produce delivered to us every week (I love the surprise factor of never knowing what will be in the box until we pick it up!), and we get to go farming too! Win-win.

Ted’s moving on up! He’ll arrive with the first round just before mid-May and by early June we’ll be totally moved in to our new place together in Rochester!

My parents will be coming up to Rochester over Memorial Day weekend to visit! Perhaps we’ll tour the Finger Lakes, visit some wineries, hit up Niagara Falls, hang at the beach, stroll the parks, enjoy a festival or two, see a flick at the drive-in, show off the public market, and share some delicious eats. I can’t wait!
Indeed, I am so looking forward to May!
