Well, a little behind again. I always have great intentions about keeping up....

The week is going well. Yesterday was hot, but today, much better. Even so, lots of short, easier to accomplish tasks makes me feel like we're accomplishing things. The row of squash that has always been such a pain to harvest is slowing down in it's "old age". The beans as well. There are newer rows of each, but they are shorter rows and feel easier to manage. I never realized I was so susceptible to "Jedi Mind Tricks".

Got the CSA boxes packed today. Actually finished packing before noon for the first time since C left. Another rainbow of nutrition: White garlic; yellow beans & squash; green kale, broccoli, cukes & zucchini; purple eggplant & beans; red peppers, watermelon & tomatoes. Doesn't it make your mouth water?!?! Throw in an herb share with parsley, rosemary, basil and oregano and I'm in heaven!

We were inspired for dinner: Buschetta with fresh tomato, basil and garlic and some "research" into possible appetizers for the upcoming family vacation to Madeline Island.

Tomorrow is delivery of the CSA boxes. I'll be helping out this week, since H can barely fit all the boxes in her van, and this week there are watermelons, too! I volunteered for the Winona delivery and will be having dinner with A while I'm there! Can't wait to see him!
