Members visit the farm and pick up the prescribed variety of produce for the week. It always looks mighty fine waiting to be brought home.

Miscellany
Subject: Things I like that other people have said or sung or written
Most of my fantasies...are to be of use...to be of some hard, simple, undeniable use. —Bill Callahan of Smog
Nothing is finished. Nothing is perfect. —Frankie Munoz
A good pot, like a good person, reveals itself gradually through continued contact over long periods of time. —Warren Mackenzie

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. —Leonardo da Vinci
Too often we...enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought. —John F. Kennedy
I may walk slow, but I never walk back. —Abraham Lincoln
Poetry is a table on which one places interesting things one has found on one's walks: a pebble, a rusty nail, a strangely shaped root, the corner of a torn photograph. A poet's tabletops are littered with gritty little snapshots of life well-lived, strewn with tender acoustic strums, pictures of the ocean, shaken maracas, mothers, fathers, arms. It's a beautiful display. —Charles Simic
The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. —Albert Einstein
Mending something is different from fixing it. Fixing suggests that evidence of the problem will disappear. I see mending as a preservation of history and a proclamation of hope...we realize that we're better together than apart, and perhaps even stronger for the rip and the repair.—Susan Cooke Kittredge
Upon preparing for a final class fun quiz, I wanted to test the memories of some of my students by including a few basic Grace facts presented upon our first meeting six and a half months ago. I asked for help, "Trevor, what is an interesting fact about me?" and he replied ending on a comical note of query, "Every day that goes by you fall more deeply in love with pockets?" Yes. Yes that is true.

April 24, 2006
Sometimes, you can tell the goodness of a day by what you ate during it.
Today:
11am- Apple dumpling with ice cream
12pm- Chicken and vegetables
7pm- Curry chicken with rice and German chocolate cake
11:59pm- Mint brownie with…what else…ice cream
A wee bit more chicken than usual, but alack, this day must have been glorious. It was.
