The person who has planted a garden feels
that he has done something for the good of the world.

  Dear Friends,

Scary things go bump in the night on the farm.  And frankly, I'd just as soon not know of it.  I've seen things people just wouldn't believe, from cougars to night moths so big it makes me shudder to think of where their eggs are being laid.  Now I like a party as much as the next person but when it's at our expense, I draw the line.  Last week Kendall, my husband who is the invisible force around here, collected the chicken eggs late in the afternoon as he does, and place them on the table in front of the art studio.  He got distracted, left them there and went off to do something else.  The next morning, every single egg was crushed and the contents were gone.  But the culprits left behind evidence! Raccoon paw prints in yellow egg yolk.  Guaranteed someone went to sleep that night with a very full tummy!

It's been a good year for cantaloupe and hope you all aren't tired of them as they won't be around for much longer.  If you think you won't eat right away, remember you can always cut them up and freeze them for a winter day and you're thinking of summer.

Here's a note from one of our military families that receive your donated delivery when you need to 'skip' or go on vacation:

" I want to tell you how much it meant to our family to receive our donated bag of produce.  I haven't had a bouquet of flowers in so long!  That's what I saw first.  And then, with the children, took out each item and marveled on the scent and freshness of everything.  We haven't had such wonderful fresh food direct from a farm before. You made us very happy. Bless you and thank you."
