Farm Fresh Vegetables

Like everyone else, I was in my local grocery store yesterday picking up supplies for Thanksgiving dinner. It was so busy. I needed some broccoli so I picked up 3 heads and put them in my basket.
I had my doubts about them but I didn't want to make another stop. They were so tired looking with brown spots, I just couldn't justify making the purchase so I changed my mind and  put them back. I long for the old days when you could eat the produce fresh from the garden.

I was lucky enough to get this work of art from an organic farmer last week. What a difference in quality and taste. It was so lovely, I just had to take a photo of it and post it on my blog.
This is an orange cauliflower. You should see it in person. Not a blemish on it and fresh from the garden. I will be getting a few more items in the near future. Off to prep for Thanksgiving dinner.

Fat Beagle

A lovely story from Kismutt Small Animal Rescue, one of the groups that we support. A puppy mill dog survives a life of misery and has a happy ending. The story is called An Unlikely Pair. For Dog Lovers everywhere.
