No picture today - we will try to download some tonight. Here's an anecdote instead:
We have been really focused the last few weeks on eating local foods. It's something we've been trying for a while in an attempt to be "greener", but now that we are in Cville, we really don't have much excuse not to eat all the bounty that is right in our backyards. Since spring has sprung and the farmer's market is overflowing with fresh produce, we've re-doubled our efforts to eat local, which of course means eating what is in season. So, lots of greens right now, as well as the first of the broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage. We had a long conversation with Abby on Saturday morning about the fact that both asparagus and strawberries are at the end of their season, but that now we can get cherries and blueberries, and it won't be long until peach season. We were not sure how much of this she absorbed, but later in the day, Abby sat down to weave a potholder on her little loom. When she was almost done, she ran out of pink loops. Staring mournfully at the last pink in the bag, she looked up and said solemnly "mommy, this is the last pink loop of the season." I am not sure when pink loop season starts again, but hopefully some will grow back before next spring. :)
