6.27.12: Shaking Hands With The Land

Naomi and I spend much of the day in Echo Luna’s huge garden, pulling weeds and drowning the dreaded Colorado Beetles that decimate potato and tomato plants. We also give a little love to the raspberries, eggplant, watermelon, cucumbers, peppers, basil, carrots, mint, horseradish, corn, spinach and sunflowers. The warm earth feels good. Late in the afternoon we take a break to go get milk and sour cream… they don’t sell it at the local store but our neighbor milks her cows three times a day and if your timing is right, it’s pretty much straight from the moo to you!
