Tuesday! Nov 15 2005 // 7:38 am // You can get it all at the Mini-MallThis is the last week, sort of. At least the last week of scheduled activities. After this, the big winter projects will start. The Thanksgiving Share goes out on Saturday so right now we are doing all the prep work to get them packed and distributed. Yesterday we harvested around 400 lb. each of rutabaga, carrots, parsnips and brussels sprouts. Also planned for the share is kale, spinach, garlic, onions, potatoes, squash, tatsoi, etc. etc. Today it is cold and rainy, so I’m not sure what we’ll be up to. Maybe a trip to the Mini-Mall, as it is the only approved blow-off activity on rainy days. The Grass Lake Mini-Mall is a legend around here. Kind of like getting to go to Disneyland. It’s basically a discount food store with a warehouse of forgotten toys and knick-nacks on the back. There’s a crude velvet painting of a cannon in some Mexican fortress, and a whole wall of unicorn candlesticks. Looking for some Just For Men from 1987? They’ve got it. You never know when the expiration dates will be, some of the off-brands are so off you’re not sure if they’re a joke. And Ben & Jerry’s pints are a dollar and a half. |
