Yesterday was quite a freedom day!

The check arrived from my first and still so-far only CSA member for this season -- and it was a goodie, a membership ($60) and _fifteen_ prepaid hundred-dollar harvest shares!

Just under the wire to get my seed order to Fedco. Whew!

Somehow it didn't feel like coincidence that yesterday was also the first day that the weather was warm enough for me to run the hose to the barn instead of hauling all of the water in five-gallon cans in a wheelbarrow. Been doing that all winter thanks to the autumn tenants from hell who ignored instructions and managed to shatter the barn line; so far the best estimate to repair the damage has been over $1000. Maybe later this year.

So today I send out seed orders and go pick up my new Mantis-type mini-tiller at Lowes. I'm in business!
