November 12
I appreciate my husbands interest in and understanding of, the world around him. His mother would often laugh and tell me about how when Rick was a kid, he would take e-v-e-r-y-thing apart ...to see how it worked. Not sure what my response would have been if my child would have torn open all the toys i bought him but thankfully his mom was good with it because it's been a blessing in his life. Last week, we bought my nephew a toy and later on in the evening my husband says I figured it out, I know how it works! And then, he needed to explain it to me, as he always does and I try to understand but I usually don't. Sometimes I'll ask him about something, some piece of machinery, just for the heck of it and he always seems to know what it's for. His understanding of things has transferred onto our natural environment and now he spends time figuring out the soil and the weather etc... He sure is handy to have around!
On the other hand, I walk around oblivious to how anything works but it doesn't mean I'm not watching or thinking, actually i'm often very distracted by what I see. My eyes see photos and my mind tells stories and I just love the beauty of it all. My husband often makes the comment that i have seen a butterfly again! And when you're working with so many beautiful vegetables it can be a challenge. Sometimes, I just have to stop and run for my phone or camera because I just can't let that one get away, not that i am a professional photographer in any way but i do really enjoy it. This weeks celery was insanely gorgeous and I was happy to get a few shots of it.
Two very different people, working side by side, making it happen. It's so important to love and appreciate our differences.
In your baskets this week:
Chez Nous Salad Mix
Kale
Sweet Peppers
Red Celery
Arugula
Extra Greens: Salad Mix and Swiss Chard
Have a great week!

| Who decided that we should focus on breeding only green celery? This stuff is gorgeous. |
 |
| I love this picture because...Rick is explaining to me how this greenhouse works...I am taking a picture and the look on his face probably wondering why i am taking a picture when he is explaining something to me makes me laugh! Plus, look at all the awesome greens growing in the greenhouse. |
 |
| The celery will be a challenge to fit in your fridge! It's huge! |
 |
| Homegrown celery is different than what you may be used to...it definitely has a stronger celery flavour and there are some stringier pieces. |
 |
| Super happy to have received a small grant to help build our market greenhouse. Thank you Carrot Cache!!! |
