I miss writing here more regularly. Now that I don't as often I can tell that writing was a healthy practice for me- it helped me to mentally sort and process what was going on, and there was something about releasing the details of my life that was therapeutic...
Wednesday food post! It's been so long!
Spring eating is here and I'm loving every minute of it. There was a point in the middle of winter where I was a little souped-out and we were buying citrus fruit just to make up the difference. We still ate well, but...
Back at the home site, we've begun our assumption of this new farm, and it sparked a lot of good thought and change. The first big change is the dissolution of our two urban farms into one. We all feel very strongly about each other and this partnership we...

My grandfather on my dad's side passed away this past December. I meant to write more about it at the time, but the days slipped past me and I found I didn't have much energy for reflecting on it here. He was 90 and he was ready, I think....
