learning from the roo

kangaroos lick their forearms to stay cool in high temperatures.

their forearms are a lot like ours: they have no fur and house blood vessels that are close to the surface.

so next time you find yourself out in the heat, go ahead, give them a lick!

weekend limerick recap

there once was a kensington derby,

we followed along on the curby,

the challenge was clear,

through the mud they had to steer,

the costumes were striking, the bikes sturdy!

(the event had complimentary bike valet thanks to the Bicycle Coalition!)

(mud pit!)

afterparty with pinwheels we made thanks to the New Kensington Community Development Corporation.

this event made us wonder if we should move to kensington!

awesome waffles

waffle irons are neat.

you can mix berries, bananas, flax seed, chocolate--just about anything into your own home-made waffle batter and then pour it in the iron.

and you can use spelt flour to make it a more nutrient rich treat!

i highly encourage you to invest in a waffle iron for great breakfasts and beyond..!
