LAST OF THE SPRING BOUNTY!


Yesterday was the first farm co-op day of the summer seasonIt was so good to get some fresh organic food again.  And what we got was beautiful!  We got:
          a head of green leaf lettuce
          a bunch of mint
          a bunch of swiss chard
          a bunch of organic kale
          a quart of strawberries
          2 lbs. of crimini mushrooms
          a bunch of asparagus
          2 lbs. of zucchini
          1 lb. of cheddar cheese
          1 dozen eggs


I have menus planned for the whole week to try to use these things while they are fresh.  Joe and I tried the strawberries and they were the best we have had for a long time.  Very sweet.


I also bought an impatience plant and a yellow squash plant.  The squash already has small fruit on it.


And here are my flowers for this week.  I think they are really pretty.




Went to church this morning.  The message was about the ascension.  Very interesting and thought provoking.  I had to hurry out at the end though because I was working this afternoon.


A water pipe in our basement sprang a leak yesterday and was spraying water all over the place.  We had to turn the water off in the house and call a plumber.   Fortunately it was an easy fix, but the money I made today working overtime will just cover the cost of the plumbing.  Sigh.  We never seem to get ahead.


But at least we have good food to eat!
