Recently amid heat waves, ERCOT, the power grid operator in Texas, asked residents to reduce power usage. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas set a new unofficial peak record of demand, according to a spokesperson. Total power demand reached 78.3 gigawatts. Though warnings of rolling blackouts circulated, Texas has avoided them for now. Last winter, the state suffered days of power outages with freezing temperatures.

The neighborhood is a little quieter this week after local schools started back up again. We homeschool, so on the “first day of school” yesterday, we visited our friend’s farm and milked her huge Brown Swiss cow. We took so many “classes” in that short 30 minutes. Science, math, spelling, nutrition, even gym class!
We just sold homemade superfood chocolate at our first farmer's market. Here's a look at what it was like - and what we learned for successful sales!
