<p>A <a href="http://www.popmath.org.uk/rpamaths/rpampages/sunflower.html">description</a> of the mathematics of a sunflower is fascinating!</p>

<p>Lots of yard work today: ferns to prune, blackberries and weeds to pull, naps under the midday sun. I recall making blackberry pies in Illinois and paying $15 for the primary ingredient – here the blackberry is an invasive weed.</p>

<p>We met some friends, old and new, for breakfast at <a href="http://www.farmkitchen.com/">Farm Kitchen</a> Saturday morning. After much conversation, we strolled around the farm so our daughter could run among the flowers, the nearest adult’s hand in hers.</p>

<p>I love foodie weekends and in my book that means farmers’ markets, harvesting vegetables from the garden and most enjoyable of all foraging for free food.</p>
