It’s time for our Thursday blog hop, wherein we celebrate living simply, sustainability, eco-conscious living, do-it-yourselfing, animal husbandry, gardening, preserving and preparing real food.
I’ll be conducting this week from the beach! Tomorrow is the day we were supposed to get our truck of produce in from Eastern Washington carrying the tomatoes for canning – only the weather has been so crummy this year they don’t even have ripe tomatoes in Eastern Washington! That coupled with me checking on the weather forecast and realizing it is supposed to be 76 today in Seaside, OR versus maybe 68 in Seattle before the weather plummets yet again led me to grab the boys, jump in the car and drive down on a whim. So here were are not one block away from the Aquarium, right off the prom poised for the last romp of summer. And now back to the blog hop…
What is a blog hop? It’s where a group of us host this event. When you share your simple lives post complete with thumbnail on any one of our sites it will be displayed on all four of them. What a great way to get more exposure so that we can all be inspired by so many great ideas!
Who is hosting the blog hop?
Diana of A Little Bit of Spain in Iowa

Hi Annette,
We met at the NE sustainable living fair a couple of weeks ago–you showed me some things about composting and mentioned I could stop by for a tour of your urban farm sometime. If you’re still willing, I’d love to see it. I’m at elisasmurray@gmail.com.
thank you! – Elisa
Do you have a favorite tomato sauce or salsa recipe that you can? We are picking up tomatoes this week…
Sense of Home – thanks for posting. It’s been so fun to read about things each week! I feel like this blog hop really speeds up the learning curve because you can see so many like-minded posts at a glance.
Elisa – absolutely, I’ll email you.
Lauriel – I do. If you click on the tomato category on my blog it will take you to an entry from last summer, or you can google for willi’s diggin food blog and then sauces. That is the one I made and we loved it. Have fun with them!
