Seed Saver Exchange
Last fall I read Barbara Kingsolver’s novel Animal, Vegetable, Miracle as one of the books in my monthly Book Club. The book is a true story about Kingsolver and her family, who only ate local food for one year. If something was in season, they simply didn’t eat it. It was amazing to read about their daily life, all of which was food related. While I try to eat local food as much as possible, I decided to go super-local and expand my garden this year. I ordered seeds from the Seed Savers Exchange. Their mission: “Since 1975, Seed Savers Exchange members have passed on approximately one million samples of…

A New Kind of Thing
Hi! If you’re part of the Randi Voss Photography Blog faithful, you might have noticed some additional changes besides this new layout.

New Website!
Last weekend, I decided to upgrade to this fancy new blog-site format. You like it? I do! It has taken me until now, nearly a full 6 days (forever in internet time) to “launch” the site because of problems with my hosting company and the functionality of their servers. You might have noticed this if you have visited recently and clicked on any of the tabs at the top of the page that link within this blog-site. I was working on Saturday afternoon, rerouting all of my URLs to direct to my new site home www.randivossphotography.com. I’m not an expert at writing code, by any stretch of the imagination, but…
