My latest project. We’ve got 10 homes for the tour! Any other AA folks want to add their home to the list?
The money earned from the tour will go to the local elementary school’s Victory Garden. We are hoping that this garden will teach the kids all about sustainability, nutrition, science and how satisfying it is to work for food. India was amazed that I pulled 3 zucchini from our garden the other day. She said “It looks just like what we would get at the store!”
I say that not because they donated seeds, starter trays, and pots to our school but because they really are the best. Friendly, informative staff and they even have popcorn to satisfy the munchies. They also have great selection and good prices. Hey, maybe not Walmart prices. But really, wouldn’t you rather support a local store and have your gardening questions answered?
They are the tops and have been my favorite since I first visited.
Ok, so the story of the Nielson family is all over the blogsphere. If you don’t know it, head here.
I have added this print to the benefit sale which begins today and tomorrow (Friday) at 11 am Mountain Time. It sounds like yesterday’s sale ended within 9 minutes! So you better head over at 11am sharp!
Also, I’m not sure when my print will be on sale, so keep your eyes peeled…
Here’s where to go at 11am:
I am hosting a family portrait party at Barde Park, near Charles Hay Elementary school just north of Downing and Eastman in Englewood, CO. The proceeds from this day will go to the school’s greening effort. Most importantly, and where my interest lies, is with the school garden. This garden won’t be at the school for another year of so, but I still would like to support this program and help get it going any way I can. This fund raiser I hope will raise the funds needed to keep my dream of kids learning nutrition, sustainability, etc. alive.

To book a time you may call, email, or even leave a comment here and I will update the schedule. Since I am manually updating this schedule, your name may not appear on the list for a few hours. This is a first come first served event, so act now!
Thursday I photographed The Movement Dance Co.’s rehearsal. Then Saturday India and I went to see the performance. This dance company is pretty unique, at least to me. They are an inter-faith group that strives to, among other things, invoke thoughtful inspiration in their audience. This last performance had a lot to do with woman and the need for self worth. Very cool.
These woman have a passion for dance, it is obvious through their art. India and I both wished we could get up and dance with them!
This is India and I on our way to the performance. To add to the excitement of the night, India and I got dressed up and even put on a bit of makeup. It was girls’ night out after all.
