My car was towed tonight. Actually not my car; I was driving Johanna’s car since she was driving mine. It was my own fault. I know better than to park in the Ferdo’s lot, even though it was empty and the Stubborn Brother lot was overflowing. I couldn’t miss the chance to celebrate with Sam Melden; his primary performance was outstanding.
Lindsey gave me a ride home and John drove me to the tow lot, where I paid $165 to retrieve the car I had parked not 2 hours earlier. Actually, since the tow truck drive/lot attendant didn’t have $5 in change he gave me a $20 so I only paid $150. I suspect that this is a rather loose operation.
Today was CSA pickup. My CSA bucket was in my car, which was in Akron with Jo, so I bundled the fruits and vegetable into an assortment of bags. It was also the night I picked up the 15 chickens (about 50 pounds) which we will enjoy throughout the winter. Fifty pounds of chickens is a lot to carry.
I am grateful for Sam’s willingness to serve. I am grateful to Lindsey for giving me a ride. I am grateful to be a customer of Shared Legacy Farms and to receive beautiful fruits and vegetables every week. I am grateful to Weber Ranch for pasture-raised chickens.
I am grateful that even after a surprise expenditure of $150 we will all sleep indoors tonight and no one will go hungry.
It’s 11:05 pm on September 10th and all is well.
