December 1, 2017 Lift Your Chin

When you are kind to someone in trouble, you hope they’ll remember and be kind to someone else. And it’ll become like a wildfire.
– Whoopi Goldberg
Dear Friends,
      I’m admittedly finding it difficult this morning to find words to express my sorrow and fear for our beloved state and the horrifying fires.  Focusing on the here and now helps.  I can hear the rooster welcoming his day and the owls last tweets from their night of ruling the tree tops.  The colors of the horizon are fading the stars and bands of aureolin, rose madder and cobalt herald the new day.
     Once the anxiety of last week had subsided, we accessed the damage from the winds that whipped through the farm with ferocity that stripped trees of autumn color, tree limbs and branches everywhere, wilted beds of lettuce, greens and the entire week’s crop of sprouts (so there are none this week).  Two days of cleaning up and tons of expensive water have restored plant turgidity and we’re back to ‘normal’.
     I’m humbly grateful for the strength and tenacity to participate in this day of being able to work outdoors.
     Still not quite sure how we’re going to handle the holidays and the changes in scheduling let alone harvesting and delivering to you all.    Will let you know next week.
     Not just for us, but to all the ‘small’ farmers still fighting the good fight, here is a well-expressed article.  It’s worth the read and the thought:
                                                Realities of Farming
     Please feel free to call or email me if you have questions or need cooking tips.
May our food this week nourish, comfort and sustain you.
