harvest






harvesting is not always hard work. sometimes all it takes is the courage to sit down, stay put, relax, and let the gifts of the work of your hands fall and settle in your lap. sometimes, what falls into your lap is the work of other people's hands. and then it takes courage and humility to accept the gifts.

it's been a rough, exciting, scary, hard-working and hard-playing summer. i am ready to sit down now, and do some harvesting...

(yesterday, we spent the day in our garden with friends, and were rewarded with dahlias, salad, home-made cookies and the pleasure of picking at a fresh sunflower. not to mention the brilliant company and our own harvest of gherkins and red carrots...)
