harvest of 2005

Big, juicy brown turkey figs, heirloom tomatoes such as brandywine, cherokee purple, druzhba, black from tula, thai pink egg, red pear, yellow pear, yellow jubilee, and sweet peppers round off some of our little harvest in the first year. Today it is 35 degrees, slushy snow/raining, and I'm sick. Rebecca says the last time I was sick was 3 1/2 years ago. I decided to surround myself with feal-good things: hot blueberry green tea with honey, Rebecca's homemade soup, Mozart, and the visions of heaven. Warm, plush, rich, bursting from its seams brown turkey figs. Tomatoes. Home-grown tomatoes. Juicy, "slice it open and put a bead of sea salt on it and devour it" tomatoes. MMM.
