Perfecting the art of the living contradiction.

had an excellent market yesterday, our best one yet. the zucchini and cabbages we brought were a hit, and sold out right away. people were also very excited about the broccoli raab. i can hardly believe it, but our eggplants look ready and i will bring them to the market next week.

ed and i are very happy about how things are going, but we're also pretty tired. his back is still hurting a lot, and he cannot do much, although, if you know him, you'll know that he's pushing himself. i've been doing more stuff to keep things going while he's recovering, and i'm feeling it.

i guess we're realizing again how important it is to take care of our bodies. stretching, in particular, is something we need to do all the time.

our vegetables are coming along really well though, and that's always inspiring to me, no matter what difficulty we're dealing with at the time. i like to just go out and take a walk around the field- seeing the plants grow always makes me happy.

here are some pictures of our field, which i took last sunday when i was out on such a walk. things have actually grown a lot since then with the beautiful weather we've had this past week...
