3/10/2016 It’s Raining Jane … Nope, not a slip of the key.
Raining. Jane.
Call it serendipity. There I was, surfing the Web in search of one of my old Raising Jane posts, and Google introduced me to a group of four musically gifted mavens who call themselves Raining Jane: http://bit.ly/1pj7Sho

3/20/2016 (MBA Jane) For this week’s Each Other/Let’s Go To Town Beginner Level Young Cultivator Merit Badge, I gathered up my large stack of (barely overdue) library books, my biggest and sturdiest reusable tote bag, and my posse of neighbor kids. I had learned something about the little whippersnappers earlier and I was appalled.
They didn’t have library cards! http://bit.ly/1Vr0Z9K

3/24/2016 Seventeen-year-old Cedrick Argueta was one of only 12 students worldwide to recently attain a perfect score on the grueling Advanced Placement Calculus exam. More than 302,000 students took the 3 1/4 hour test last year, said to be one of the most difficult college-level tests. Cedrick also aced the English and math sections of his ACT college-entrance exam.
You might guess that Cedrick comes from a privileged private-school background. Nope: http://bit.ly/1MEKwaL

4/8/2016 Have you discovered the delights of bone broth yet? This week, I’m going to share with you my recipe for concentrated bone broth. The benefit of concentrating broth is that it takes up far less storage space and is portioned out into handy, on-demand squares that readily melt when added to hot water: http://bit.ly/1VdCQEs

4/10/2016(MBA Jane) For this week’s Out There Kids/Park Place Beginner Level Young Cultivator Merit Badge, I channeled my inner child (and also Nora and Andy) and we went to the park. Not having had kiddos myself, I was totally immersed and enjoying the whole “playdate” experience. I mean, I’ve scheduled playdates for my doggies and maybe one or two for the chickens (Chickens are social creatures, too, you know!), but I hadn’t seen any human ones in action: http://bit.ly/1SXRMU2

4/12/2016 Hooray for Pulses
(Meg) You’re probably thinking, “Well yes, of course, hooray for pulses because pulses (plural) means our hearts are beating, which means we’re alive.” For sure! But I’m talking about another kind of pulses, a crop group that includes dry beans, dry peas, chickpeas, and lentils. Here at the farm, we {heart} pulses!
And we’re not alone in our adoration … http://bit.ly/1VRx3U5

4/14/2016 As one of the premier providers of environmental education in the Palouse area of eastern Washington and northern Idaho, The Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) that I founded way back in 1986 is always looking for new and creative ways to get people of all ages out and exploring the natural world.
That’s why this year, PCEI is offering STREAM Team—a week-long summer experience for girls entering their 7th-10th grade years that focuses on the STREAM fields: Science, Technology, Restoration, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics: http://bit.ly/1ScETW4
