Finding fall at the farm
October 18, 2008
Two weeks worth of mail is still piled on my desk, together with passports, travel documents and school notes. It's a mess. But the laundry is hanging on this breezy sunshine day and our fridge is stocked with farm veggies. Boy is it ever stocked! The weekly shares officially ended ...
