a bounty of goodness…

if I could live on a farm I sure would…

it would be just a small farm… full of rows and rows of lavender… a nice plot of veggies… tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, strawberries, raspberry bushes, some corn, and boxes and boxes of the freshest herbs on earth with so many bees buzzing that I get an urge to make some honey too!

I would wake every day and feed my chickens and pluck some eggs for breakfast, take a paddle on my canoe, and water my veggies … hmmm and olives… and pick so many herbs and make some amazing fragrant olive oil to be sold at my shop in my little village… maybe I would take my horse to work… and my kids would wear no shoes and run and fly kites and stop for a fresh tomato break… this could be really fun… but I would have to live close to the beach too….

back a few weeks we went to a farm nearby and plucked some amazing tomatoes for pretty much FREE! The sun was blazing on us as we collected bags full.. Our littlest one fell fast asleep as I carried her in one arm and my tomatoes in another.. and easy balance… how nice to pick so much goodness and head home and make a feast!!!
