Happy Early Summer, Reader! Our Spicy Mix and Sweet Mix microgreens sold out on the shelves at the Lovettsville Cooperative Grocery. And then Chef Alison from Between the Hills Kitchen & Catering took our spent microgreens trays and planted them in the garden bed right outside her front door. Nothing wasted. Everything continuing. He makes everything beautiful in its time. — Ecclesiastes 3:11 That is what this season feels like right now. Growth. Beautiful bounty. Good yummy food. Which brings me to Tuesday.

Dear Reader, There's a log cabin on the back of our property that brings me so much joy. Now, the truth is, it has seen better days. It's rickety. There are gaps in the eaves. The red cedar is showing its age and the chinking is falling apart. We don't have the budget to do what it needs right now.
