Summer has brought many yummy treasures in our Abundant Harvest Organics produce boxes! The boxes keep getting heavier every week as they are loaded down with fresh sweet corn, juicy stone fruits, delicious melons, and ripe tomatoes.
Ma must have really loved summer!
We don't eat much corn in our house since it is really just a starchy grain but when it comes in the box we do indulge. As you can see from the smile on little Jad's face he is a fan!
More corn is on its way this week along with the other usual summer goodies. I also ordered some irresistible extras this week.
So what is coming in the box this week?
Have you ever longed for a simpler life? Remember the Little House books by Laura Ingalls-Wilder? Those books have always been a favorite and now that I am a busy full time working mom of 3 I find myself thinking of Ma raising her family and how much simpler their lives were. They lived off the land in small houses, focused on family, and saw each day as a blessing. Our lives CAN be simpler and I think looking to the wisdom of "Ma" is part of the answer.

I Lost a Dear Friend to Cancer
Angel Eddie |
During the months he was sick I sacrificed everything I could to be there with him. When he finally did pass several weeks ago I had a lot of catching up to do at work and at home. Hence the reason the blog has gone silent for quite some time. I know I posted other reasons for the silence and while they were true the main force behind all the silence was me spending every second I could spare with my dear friend Eddie. I wasn't ready to talk about that yet though, talking about it would have made it too real and I could not handle that at the time.
