Today was another glorious fall day. We spent part of the day volunteering at Harvest Fest for our local CSA. CSA stands for community supported agriculture. Essentially they are farm co-ops. Members of a CSA pay a yearly sum and enjoy the crops that are grown for a certain number of weeks, typically this is the growing season in your geographic region. Most CSA's use organic farming techniques (crop rotation, integrated pest management, no use of pesticides or herbicides). My CSA raises organic produce and is only 5 miles from my house. I was on a one year waiting list to get in and now that I have participated, it is by far one of the best changes I have made to my lifestyle. I look forward to my weekly pick up and it is especially nice to know where my food comes from. The food also tastes much, much better. The Harvest Festival was fun, I manned the pumpkin painting station. Young children are always a hoot. This is what I wore: The top is from H&M, the dress is from Marshalls, and I don't remember where I got the shoes.

T-Shirt and Jeans Day- Day 19
The hubs did the sweetest thing yesterday and I forgot to mention it. I am a lover of dark chocolate (the more than 75% cacao kind). Armed with this knowledge, the hubs went and bought several different kinds of dark chocolate (all more than 80% cacao) from different brands and displayed them prominently for my viewing pleasure. It was the sweetest thing (both figuratevly and literally). Today was one of those days that started off gloomy, but ended with a grand finale. It pretty much rained all day, but as soon as I was ready to go home, the sun was out in all it's glory. As I have mentioned before, I love to dress up and I do so in my clothing choices for work. Today though I decided to wear jeans for a change. This is a pretty rare occasion, but why not? right? Someone once said to me that the only constant in life is change, he was absolutely right. So with that here is my outfit. The blazer is from H&M. The T-shirt is a gift from the hubs (before he became the hubs). The Jeans are Levis. The shoes are thrifted and the necklace is a gift from my best friend.
