Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

a morning

i went out to do my morning chores and found

i stayed out there and tried to manage damage control and gathered the day's harvest.

realized that i was starving. so i cooked breakfast. scrambled 2 eggs and made an heirloom tomato salad from the basket and a cold glass of raw milk. oh how i love a good glass of milk.

gardening, organic or otherwise, is not for the faint at heart. its a tough business for sure.
