Last week it was a race against the snow to get in the last harvest of the year; turnips, carrots, lettuce. Though the snow was really heavy and persistent, Mike and I were super excited to be back in the garden after a weekend at the Great Lakes CSA Conference.
Surprisingly we were able to salvage a sizable amount of lettuce, and we created quite a gorgeous mix of greens for the Holiday Market in Boyne City; Centers from the weathered lettuce heads, pea tendrils, stunning purple-y reds from the radicchio, fancy frills from the ende Frisee, a tad bit mixers of tatsoy and spinach. Mmm. I was blessed to made a killer salad for the Thanksgiving gathering I attended; lettuce mix, carrots, breakfast radishes, watermelon radishes, turnips, broccoli, croutons, with an improvised avocado salad dressing. It was extravagant to say the least. Yum.
But now I am going through withdrawals from lack of time in the dirt.
These sways,
the rhythm of this world,
cycles lost and found,
drowning in lakes and flesh frozen into snow angel molds,
I haven’t a word to say to you tonight.
