I don't make hay, but I do get me to my local CSA:

Here's what I found:


  This is what I love about July in Vermont--pick-your-own strawberries and snap peas and cucumbers! I asked if the cukes were greenhouse-grown, but no!

I love my CSA!

I'm so glad I went when I did, because the reason I have time to make this post is that, on what was supposed to be the first sunny day in weeks, we are having a shower, so I can't go out and move wood.

Writing accomplishments for the week: 2 humorous pieces for the local paper about The Great Sorting, hereafter to be called TGS. After I see the printed versions, I'm going to post the text, with additional photos, here, probably friends-locked. I'm also working on a longer essay on the same subject (TGS), which I may have a market for.

I guess this is why I couldn't dive back into THE GROVE. I  needed to purge myself of TGS first. But it will be purged, just as it will also, one day (soon, please, soon) be over.

Savoring Saturday

It was sunny all day--all of it! Sure, we heard thunder, but it stayed in the distance.

I picked beans.
I picked tomatoes.
I found one cucumber and one zucchini (it's a weird year that way, usually we're inundated).
I picked blueberries (quart number 7).

I hung out a load of laundry that dried before noon.

I helped HH stack wood.

Today it was summer! Ahhhh.
