Today: Our first Farmer's Market of the Season
Please Come by. We'll be here every Tuesday until the leaves fall.
~~~
The garden inventory is high and growing. Today, the first wave of twenty four will sweep through the garden in a harvest for the people. I ask myself these questions:
Have I planted enough?
Have I planned well?
What beds to reseed?
What beds to retire?
These are the questions of life.
I will just do what I can do, the best I know how. The only path now is between the rows of abundance, pulling what I need for my little acts of service and gratitude.
Instead of listening to the mantra of "It's not enough", I remind myself:
It's up to the plants now.
It's up to the Earth.
My efforts are all growing verdant in the field.
These are the mantras of any working person.
Today is our first market as
Moon Bear.
It's a good day to wield the knife in the tangle of stems.
It's a good day to harvest the bounty.
It's a good day to gently wash the dirt off the roots.
It's a good day to offer what only passed through my hands for a moment in time and space.
These are the prayers of anyone who wants to free.

To the Moon Bear CSA: We will have your cooler and boxes ready here at the Art Farm, as usual, on Thursday from 2 PM till Friday at noon. If you want to start picking up boxes at the Legacy Market on Tuesdays, let me know.
See you in the Garden,
Rick
