Lunch: Meandering & Productive

We've been having lunch for decades.  Yesterday's was planned for weeks.  Of course I had an unexpected jobsite visit in the time slot allotted for preparation.

 He appeared, with a bottle of wine, walking thru the back garden.

 And an appreciation for my new girls & what they're providing, below.

 Made egg salad sandwiches.  The heirloom girls are producing 6/day, they hatched the 1st week of April.

Instead of Greek yogurt with fresh fruit & local honey you see what time allowed, above.

He can retire & I'm pushing him not to.  His house has new rooms available, children out of college.  We met when they were toddlers.  Peers in the Garden industry we spoke a lot of community activism.  Bringing a Garden perspective to groups without a hint of Garden in their soul.  We're already doing it and leverage ideas for more.
.
Luxurious,  meandering conversation about work at the pace of lunch.  A deeper vein of gleaning.  Productive.

Garden & Be Well,     XO Tara

Of course we ate in the conservatory.  No time for pics there or the garden, it's fall fabulous at the moment, we both had appointments.
