C.S.A. Week 2
/Joni has a book about a little girl meeting up with a Unicorn. The girl and the unicorn live in separate worlds. In both worlds it has been raining and raining, and they haven’t seen the sun in who knows how many days. Both the unicorn and the little girl believe in each other and the sun, and when they wish hard enough, they are united in unicorn land with sunshine and rainbows.
I have been thinking about sunshine and unicorns alot these past few days. We were feeling pretty ok about the weather until Sunday night really tipped the garden over the edge. Monday morning had us looking at puddles we usually don’t see past April in both the pasture and in low spots in the garden. Most of the vegetables look really good and the puddles are contained, but we really need a weather turnaround, or we may start to loose things due to disease and rot. Grateful for the sunshine today, but we certainly need more of it. Feel free to take yourself on a garden walk about when you come and admire our plants, both the ones doing well, and the ones that are super soggy. The reality of farming is we are at the mercy of the weather.
