We are not even into the winter months but we are certainly feeling the chill.  We had several unseasonably cold nights and they slowed down the growth in the fields quite a bit.  Today’s rain and warmer temperatures will surely jump start more activity, if only temporarily.  As I travel through the rain to pick up and deliver our veggies, I am not as nervous and aggravated by the rain as I normally am.  This year I have a closer relationship to this water falling from the sky,  I know that even though it backs up traffic on 75-85, it also gives nourishment to the luscious greens.  I look forward to seeing how the coming weeks are directly affected by the warm and wet weather of today.   Enjoy your greens!

And big thanks to my friend and photographer Manuel Llaneras for this nice shot of farmer Duane and myself.
