milk man, haircut

So, we have a milk man. Suckers.
Royal Crest Dairy in Denver.
They take your order, then drop it off on the designated day before 0600.
.
They have more than milk.
They are organic and free range and they say "better than organic".


our milk box on the porch :)
L-R: reusable milk carton 1%, chocolate milk made with 14% choc. flakes and vanilla (no corn syrup), organic AJ from the fuji apples whole foods thought were too ugly to sell-made in CO, cottage cheese from Royal Crest cows, free range organic eggs from their farm also!
* if you happen to see the water bottle in the back left, it is not ours, it was cameron's mom's from dec when they came to visit :),

take that weeds.

so, i feel a little guilty.
we are going to till, then re-seed the lawn.
and there are a TON of weeds, seriously, more than grass.
so, obviously i need to kill the weeds before we till.
.
well, i went to the store, and bought weed killer, it kills the weeds, not the grass.
i used it in the front yard, and there were like 50 warnings on the label, not to mention
that dogs & kids can't go in the yard til it dries.
after i sprayed it, not only did the whole neighorhood smell like chemicals, but even after
i washed my hands 40x, they still smelled like chemicals.
.
i felt so guilty. i may have even killed a pidgeon, or mutated its baby.
the pidgeon landed on the grass, and i started yelling "get away, you are landing on chemicals that could kill you" and i was chasing it... it probably thought i was just nuts, but i was really trying to save its life. it just flew away.
.
anyways, so that was just the front yard.
then i decide i just can't so it anymore,
so i get info from my friend and the internet.
.
for just $3.00 I made enviro/kid/dog safe weed killer, that i think works even faster than the
20-million chemical kind.
.
buy a big thing of vinegar.
buy a big thing of salt (the round can thing of morters).
.
pour out just enough vinegar to be able to add all the salt in
squirt several tablespoons of dishsoap (not detergent) (i used seventh gen).
.
shake it up.
put it in a spray thing.
apply to lawn/weeds.
ONLY TO what you want to kill though, b/c it will kill grass too. so it's extra good for weeds coming out of the driveway cracks.
.
smells fine, washed hands, smells fine, isn't killing anybody/thing, cheap.
