Day Of The Woman

ok. Will is on call, and has to be at a meeting this moring (Saturday). So I'm on my own. And this after a late Friday night of harvesting and CSA activity...and we groggily get up before 6 a.m...but I'm determined to pull it off by myself. Of course, there is no 'by myself', because the whole point of the CSA is COMMUNITY! Lo and Behold...only women showed up this morning. And I mean, only women. Lots of them. Seems that the husbands and/or significant others were 'too tired' to come with, It was a beautiful thing, let me tell you. The women pulled bean plants out of the field, sat around and pulled all of the beans (red beans this time), packed all of the baskets and got it done, by god. By the time Will got back home, it was mostly over. Late in the morning, a couple of guys showed up. I was ready to tease them mercilessly...but each had a baby strapped to his body so what can you say? They deserved a reprieve...because mom was at home enjoyng a minute of alone-ness. A good day. all in all. And the end of Week 5.
