from where i stand

yeah i know. i've been a lame blogger. but it's harvest time people. AND we're on the verge of a potential economic collapse. if the great depression does hit, at least we'll have food to eat. thanks to avery's help in the garden. ha! he generally runs around snatching stuff out of my bucket and eating it faster than i can pick it. i love that some of his first words were "broccoli" "raspberry" and "apple." i can't believe the summer is over....we're clearing fields and my mind wanders to thoughts of snow and cocoa and sledding and watching avery become a real little person...
