You mentioned that you’d made a late-night entry onto your blog and I turned over stones to find it tonight—determined as I was to learn what you were musing about in the dark hours—maybe something around the seriously scary lack of rain lately, or maybe something inspired by a surprising animal connection, or perhaps a new insight around your farming life, or a recipe. Your words -and photos!-always express (despite the exhaustion that plagues you!!) what it means to truly love one’s place upon this earth.
Pam, we just made the bok choy salad that you shared, alongside some fresh scrambled eggs, yum!
Thank you farmer!!
You’re welcome Gretchen! Glad you enjoyed it!!
