The Itch
"So why do you come up here again?" Pam asked me, as we cleaned onions. "To scratch my itch".
Welcome to Whidbey.
I got up at 5:30am this morning, the first of twelve glorious days off, to go to two gardens and harvest Kale, Swiss Chard, Broccoli, Beans, Onions, Mustard Greens, Lettuce, Peas, Basil, Kholrabi, Potatoes, and Raspberries. We started at one garden, and moved to a 2nd after a couple of hours. Then we had lunch, at 10am.
Then we "processed", which is the verb for what we do when we wash, snip, sort, bag, and get all of the veggies presentation-ready.
And right now? Right now I am blissfully sunburnt, kinda relaxed (thanks to cocoa and wine and a veggie-laden dinner), watching fireworks over the Harbor. I am therefore logging out, so I can enjoy it.
You can enjoy my pictures, though.
