From the Farm to the Table

The book I am reading now is called From the Farm to the Table, by Gary Holthaus.  The perspective is from all kinds of farmers.  I recommend it.  I haven't figured out how to post a picture of the book cover.  I will keep trying.

Birdhouse Gourd Drying





The birdhouse gourds have been out in the weather since coming off the vines in August. I am not sure what they are supposed to look like as they dry out over the winter, so I guess they are "cooking" just fine. Interesting that the skunk and squirrels leave them completely alone.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!



Although it has been pointed out to me that our American Thanksgiving might not have the most altruistic beginnings, I believe most of us do celebrate this holiday with open and grateful hearts. With bounty available to most and family love even though far apart, I know I am most grateful for the blessings I have. My thoughts are also with my nephew in Iraq and with Iraqi friends. Peace. Not just a dream, but a mission for us all.

Broad Street Farmers' Market





The only vegetarian vendor, Nude Food is going out of business tomorrow. Sad.




The Broad Street Market in Harrisburg has some very beautiful benches outside. Beautiful art work of corn! Found this quote there:

Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances of survival of life on earth as much as evolution to a vegetarian diet.
-Albert Einstein
