Dear Friends,

What a wild weather morning we've had.  Chilly temperatures, wind, and rain, heavy at times, drove us under shelter and unable to harvest our crops.  It doesn't really matter how good you think your gear is when starting out.  It doesn't take more than a few minutes of pulling carrots or radishes out of the ground before your hands are cold and cramped.  From there it's downhill..

So, I suggest a nice pot of soup on the stove.  When I finish here in the office, it's a log on the fire to warm up and chop chop for a nice hot meal tonight.  I'll start with the onion, celery, some garlic left from before, carrots, sorrel and some of those yummy Russet potatoes from last week.  Saute the onion, garlic, and celery in Omega coconut oil, add several cups of broth or water, the potatoes, the celery, maybe some dried tomatoes, salt and pepper, a bay leaf, some Bragg's and anything else that appeals to be good to go in.  It's also a perfect day for a good chicken to go in the oven to be roasted and warm up the house as well.  With the left overs, I'll probably saute the spinach and cook the yams tomorrow for an easy meal after hopefully being able to get back out into the beds and harvest.  There will be plenty of left overs from that to plan at least a coupld more meals.

The GreenStore has new additions to it and our Personal Care category has many wonderful products that would make nice 'stocking stuffers' .   Our gift bags are also nice for a healthy and yummy gift delivered to them on a date you select and we'll include a cheery card as well.  All you orders are appreciated.

Enjoy in good health.
