Last night I had planned to blog, but I was exhausted and went to bed at 10... I didn't even hear Jason come in, but he didn't go to bed until 12 (He was too busy blogging!)
This week has been crazy... Thursday and Friday were field trip days. We went to Dave's Orchard in Langley and had a blast! We got to pick our own corn off the stalk, pull up our own carrots and beets, pick tomatoes and even broccolli right off the plant. I didn't even know what a broccolli plant looked like until this trip! Apples and pears were picked right off the tree, and we got huge potatoes and pumpkins galore. The best part was I did this 4 times and the lady who owns the farm (Dave's wife) kept giving me more and more! Here's my produce load after just day 1!!
And the next day I got more than double that! By the way, yes that is Hampton, I guess he was hungry. Anyways, we ate corn on the cob Thursday night and it was delicious! Since I came home with 7 cobs the next day we gave some to our landlord and some will go to my mom tonight. I think the plan is today is to slice and freeze up some of the other stuff, like some broccolli and carrots. It's lots of work being a farmer!
Well, I'm off to do some cleaning today, although I kinda wish I was preparing some killer costume for a halloween party tonight. I love dressing up... we were invited to a party downtown but it was over $40 a ticket and that was just too steep for right now... maybe next year!
