Harvest Begins




Today I picked German Chamomile for tea. So satisfying! It surprised me how happy I was picking away, just the same as when we pick apples from the orchards in Hood River. Joy. I have a list of things in my mind that I think make me happy, but in the moment, supreme happiness comes from harvesting food straight from the earth. Simple and good.


The cherry tomatoes are gearing up to ripen in the next couple weeks. The basil is finally starting strong as well. Perfect timing. Now I just need to find some good mozarella cheese. MMMM. Sigh. I love this.
