things are really busy right now. we can barely keep up. actually we can't and it feels like we're constantly one or two weeks behind schedule. the weather has been amazing for growing, and that means for weeds too. so there's lots of weeding; we're still planting pretty heavy every week, so there's bed prep and everything to do with that. our crops have been coming in beautiful and very plentiful, so every day there's hours of harvesting to do. squashes and cucumbers take a couple of hours for harvesting, then there are raspberries, and now the tomatoes are coming in...
so there's lots to do. but we are really grateful for all this beautiful food, and our market and CSA are going very well. our vegetables look beautiful and taste great, and seem to be very productive. we've been eating everything fresh every day. the raspberries are just so delicious, and such a treat right now. and fried squash and cucumber salad have been a daily thing, since they came out a couple of weeks ago. my sister's back from vacation and started taking our veges and cooking for us again. what a relief! i've been juicing carrots and beets, and i'm loving the juice. it's fresh and invigorating.
what else? one of my friends and i are trading veges for house cleaning. what a difference it makes to have a nice clean house to come to after the market on saturday!
for the past 2 weeks, we've been going to this sweet little river for family day. there's nobody ever there but us, and it's so sweet. the girls love playing in the river, while ed and i just hang out, and try not to do anything productive.
peace

raluca, merci pt. pozele astea. imi face mult bine sa le vad.... sena e asa de frumoasa, iar ayiana, f. dulce si vesela. ma bucur de reusita voastra pe cimp si ca va place, dar ca mama si bunica, sint si voi fi ingrijorata de viitorul vostru si, mai ales, al copiilor vostri, cred ca nici voi n-ati vrea sa faca ce faceti voi acum,pt. atit de putina siguranta de viata si o existenta atit de limitata.... trebuie sa cunoasca lumea si sa faca fata, in orice situatie, nu doar in lumea voastra, mica.
sper sa nu ma intelegi gresit, dar as vrea ca ele sa aiba o viata mult mai putin limitata ca a voastra acum, cind nu faceti decit sa munciti din greu, pt. doar nevoile de baza. va iubesc mult pe toti si incerc sa va ajut cit pot. cu drag, mama. dac te supar, iarta-ma, asa cum va iertam si noi, cind am vrea sa tineti cont de sfaturile noastre. nu va iubim mai putin pt. asta, dar ne doare....
Hi Raluca!
I could read your blog all day! It's like coming to your CSA and seeing you and the kids--it's like Christmas! Or some such joyous holiday!
