King of Summer!

This summer we joined a CSA, or Consumer Supported Agriculture program. It's a farm share in which we get a beautiful bag of fresh produce every week from a local farm. Specifically, we joined the Dillner Family Farm's CSA. We have been delighted with our weekly fruits and vegies (that we also supplement from the local Farmer's Market). I will admit that I was a little nervous at first about ALL of the vegies that we've never tried before, like collards and kale, but we've done remarkably well trying them, and (mostly) like them. We are, it turns out, not fans of kohlrabi. Michael has been waiting ALL summer for a farm fresh watermelon. I knew it would be late August before they were ripe locally, and, sure enough, this past week, WATERMELON. (Or WATIE if you are Colin)

Now, this was a lovely specimen, if I ever saw one. So lovely, that we had a take pictures!

How was it? BEST of the summer, without a doubt.
