News from the Field

Last week on Monday, Joe told me he had to go for parts in Orleans. He then asked me to go with him for the parts and lunch. Tuesday the 11th,was going to be our 31st Anniversary, and he would be too busy the next day. I said “Sure” He was covered in mud and said he was changing and asked if I wanted to change too. I said no, as we were only going for parts & off I went in my Capri overalls and tank top. As we approached Cambridge he said “let’s go thru the notch as the colors are so great” “O.K., I answered and then asked “What part are you getting in Orleans?” He then laughed and smiled and said “No parts, I’m taking you away for our Anniversary” “What!” I said, “ I don’t have anything I need with me” “I know” he said “That’s why I had Becky pack all you need” Joe then said he saw Becky packing a large suitcase, when he asked her what she was doing, as we were only going for one night. She replied “I know Dad, but she needs choices.” We had a great time at York beach in Maine and a beautiful foliage ride for no parts too. It was a very Happy Anniversary Surprise.

News from the Field

Anne and Joe have escaped for a couple of days without the family so I am writing the newsletter for Anne.

What a nice weekend we had this last weekend. Working at the base of Mount Mansfield I get to enjoy the view every day. Hopefully you all got out enjoying the colorful foliage in Vermont. My family took a drive up to Montgomery through Enosburg and back through Fairfield home. What a nice drive and day to spend with the family. Of course we stopped for an ice cream cone. YUM!! Hopefully we will be able enjoy a few more nice weekends before the weather really changes.

This week is Jack O’ Lantern week. Bring the kids to pick out their own pumpkin. (One per CSA child – 2 kids=2 pumpkins)

Have fun carving them. Send us pictures of your creations.
