it is so cold. william's fun has to be had inside of our small condo. he's not even going to remember that outdoors is a place one can spend a great amount of time... that it is a place where one can hang out, not because that person is wilderness-bound due to some unfortunate accident, but voluntarily because of the fresh air and the abundance of vitamin d to be had.
so here is the indoor fun william has been having of late:
meeting (and navigating the how-to's of large toy sharing with) his older cousin...
making winter soups and stews with two spoons... living up to the nickname "willy two spoons"...
riding around in a laundry basket with a monkey...
and most importantly... spending quality time with grandpa...
Claire Strader is an excellent candidate for this position for many, many reasons. She has an intimate connection with the earth, farming, teaching, interpreting and engaging others in growing nutritious foods in contexts that demonstrate our rich natural assets as well as the role that people from all backgrounds can play in the food system. Troy Gardens is a shining example of what hard work and collaboration can do to serve the community and world…and thrive, and Claire Strader has played a key role in creating that example.
