October 17, 2008

I like knowing where my food comes from. I like fruit picked at the right time, just ripe enough that it will finish sweetening in my fruit bowl, but not so ripe that I have to eat it all that day. (Except peaches. I will buy peaches that I have to eat that minute. I […]

So much depends

Today was an ordinary misty October day.  Leaving Sonny’s, where I had breakfast with Babs and Betty Jo, I admired a red wheelbarrow glazed with rain in Chris Szjebach’s garden.
