Okay, a week and a half, but still.
Yesterday I was sitting at the dining room table, cursing my inability to focus and trying to meet a deadline when I heard The Little Monster lapping at the water dish in the kitchen behind me.  
It&#8217;s not really a dog bowl; it&#8217;s one of those big [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not in a writing mood. 
It was supposed to be warm this week.  It&#8217;s supposedly seventy degrees out there, but I can&#8217;t tell.  It&#8217;s cold.  [...]]]></description>

It was on the front mat when I took Tripp out this morning.  All fluffed out and indignant at being stepped on by a clumsy puppy.  Thrice. 

Its red and blue eyes, its only defense.  He took zero notice, choosing instead to further bludgeon the dandelion heads that had been demolished by [...]]]></description>

&#8220;I can&#8217;t do it all,&#8221; has been a common refrain around here for the past few months.  And I don&#8217;t like admitting that so you know it&#8217;s bad when I do.  

This was supposed to make life easier.  So far it&#8217;s just resulted in a lot of &#8220;No, don&#8217;t chew that,&#8221; and, [...]]]></description>

For most locavores it&#8217;s coffee.  For me, it&#8217;s fruit.  And chocolate, but that&#8217;s another post for another day.   And rum, but again; we&#8217;re getting off track.  
Fruit.  Sweet, glorious, exotic fruit.  Mangoes and papayas and star fruit and ugly fruit and kiwis and pineapples, oh my!  I [...]]]></description>

I tend to get overwhelmed this time of year.  There&#8217;s so much to do, so little time to do it.  In hindsight, Twenty-twelve shouldn&#8217;t have been so bad; it shouldn&#8217;t feel so rushed.  
It was spring much earlier than normal, we&#8217;ve been able to stretch a couple weeks worth of work over [...]]]></description>

The beautiful thing about home canning, is that it doesn&#8217;t require the mass purchase of kitchen doo-dads that you&#8217;ll only use twice a year.  If you have a small kitchen it doesn&#8217;t have to be overrun with one-function-wonder gadgets, or if you&#8217;re like me and are blessed with ample kitchen storage but suffer from [...]]]></description>

I often participate in Twitter chats about food and agriculture. A few weeks ago, during one such chat meant to bring farmers and consumers together, a consumer tweeted that he’d like to see farms “getting back to the basics.” I tried to engage him, ask which basics he wants to see, what his vision of [...]]]></description>
