Hello NaNoWriMo (CSA Menu Plan #44)

Published on November 1, 2015 By Emily. Updated on November 15, 2015

What a weekend! We started off by celebrating Halloween – at work, at a party and while handing out candy to kids.  Our Mario and Luigi costumes got tons of acclaim, despite the fact that they were super, super easy.  All we did was purchase suspenders and hats (both from Amazon), and Brian bought a shirt.  I already had mine!  I liked these costumes because they were super simple and super recognizable.  I’m sure we’ll be repeating them at some point in the future. (Sorry for the tiny cell phone photo!)

And, just like that, it’s November. I’m really excited to be participating in National Novel Writing Month.  NaNoWriMo has been on my radar for years and it was even on my 101 in 1001 list that I started in 2012.  At the end of the project (in September 2014), I listed NaNoWriMo as something I’d “lost interest in”.  Since then I’ve regained my interest and this fall seems like the perfect time to participate.  I’m done with school, my other obligations are limited and I have a bit of a story idea.  I have no idea where this month will take me, or if I’ll finish (the goal is 50,000 words by the end of the month).  My plan is to focus on my story this month, so I don’t know how often I’ll post here.  I do have some guest posts scheduled as well as a book review/recipe.  I’m also still accepting guest posts, if you want to see your writing here!

Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we had another fantastic year at @freshgrassfestival. I can never get over how, in addition to all the incredible music, the event features a great venue (@massmoca), delicious food from mostly local vendors, a great local beer tent and bar stocked with @berkshiremtdist and a kid-friendly atmosphere including a @kidspacemm art tent.
Shout-out to some of my favorite acts of the day @ajleebluesummit, @cj_field with @gregcaproni and @theblacklegacyproject.

Looking forward to next year!

I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in La I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in Lanesborough this morning to pick blueberries with my daughter. We had a lovely time at the farm, and especially enjoyed the short walk to the lush blueberry bushes, and the beautiful flower and lavender fields. We didn't participate in pick-your-own flowers today, but it's definitely on my radar for the future.
We are looking forward to some muffin baking soon! 🫐
