It seems like with every week the CSA pick ups get better and better. More color, more variety, more of my favorite things. I also made it to the farmer’s market this weekend and picked up some awesome cantaloupe and corn on the cob. Tomorrow is the first of August and, at least for the bulk of the month, it looks like it will be a much less busy month than July. It also seems like it’s going to be less hot this week! I’m looking forward to a few weeks of relaxing, board games, home projects, exploring local sites and enjoying the time before school starts and my baby is born.
