One day last week was a day of gifts. First, my friend Mackenzie called to say that she had found an old wheel-hoe at the thrift store, purchased it, and left it there for me to pick up (since she was on her bike and the bus and couldn't bring it to me herself). Excited, I went right over to Chicken Alley to retrieve it and found out to my dismay that it is an old Earthway tool-- definitely worth over 50 bucks, most likely closer to 100, that Mac purchased for TEN dollars! It has three different cultivating tools that can be attached to it. That Earthway will make managing our weeds at Slip Away significantly easier. Thanks to whoever left that at Chicken Alley and thanks to Mac for finding it!
Later in the day, Jason came for a visit and a little bit of work. He is always pretty busy farming up at Beetlebung Farm these days, but slips away to Slip Away whenever he can. Always nice to have him. And this time he brought the another gift of the day: a beautiful table Collins made for us to bring to Farmer's Market. Our friend Greg gave us a whole bunch of scrap mahogany decking to use for the project, and its sturdy and seems like it will last forever.

Finally, Collins showed up with the last gift of the day... my weakness... a snickers. Yes, I'm a farmer who loves snickers. No ones perfect, right?
