Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Yesterday, Cass and I were sorting and grading all the tomatoes in the barn when Kinard, my father in law drove by on his HUGE tractor, covered in slick mud. He stopped looking mighty proud and proclaimed loudly, "Maria, I just dragged your husbands vehicle out of the mud back there...Where shall I send the bill to?" Between Dane and I, this is our SIXTH - yes, SIXTH time getting our truck stuck in the mud this season. We have dragged it out 2 times with Kinard's 4 wheel drive truck, 1 time with the neighbors tractor, twice with our own small tractor and this last time with Kinard's big tractor. The first and second time we called Kinard right away - because Kinard is smart about anything practical. Plus, he is retired. He is most likely to be home. The third and fourth time we tried to hide it from Kinard - because we did not want to be told that getting our truck stuck up was stupid and impractical. (We know that already.) That's when we discovered that almost-3-year-old Gregori is a TATTLE-TALE GOSSIP!!! And Kinard knew of our stuckness. One time, we managed to hide it from both Gregori and Kinard. So, we were meek and ashamed only to each other. This last time I freely told Nathlyn - who told Kinard - who drove his HUGE tractor 5 miles over to our farm to rescue us - again. If wishes were fishes, I would cast a net for an on-farm gator with a bin to haul tomatoes in - and maybe a bigger tractor. Can't complain about the rain through - that's good.
Community:
My mom and I were talking about general office politics. I am not good at office politics. So I find myself enormously grateful for our community of generous and good-natured, service oriented and business savvy farmers. I find myself continuously uplifted by the beautiful, thoughtful people who support the farmers markets. (Especially during the latest gas shortage, "I had only a little bit of gas - so I came to the farmers market! You all work so hard!" - Me?? What about you???) People send me intelligent and wonderful emails. Have me reading great books. Tell me the best recipes. It is an honor and deep joy to see people Saturday mornings. I love it. Over and over. The Chefs are all on their toes. Working hard, gracious, usually HILARIOUS to talk with, down to earth and smart. I worry to make sure everything is perfect for their creations. Sometimes, when I am needing inspiration, I go over to the artists barn and take a very quick peek at all they do and I love that too. If you are reading this - you are part of this amazing community. We have something special - no? Enormously grateful!
