Not bad at all.

I was about to say that!

That is so great! And each year will get more productive until you are leaving anonymous bags of produce on neighbor's porches in the dead of night because otherwise they point a gun at you and say "Leave, and take your zucchini/tomatoes/carrots/beets with you!"

LOL - I am already sort of doing that. The farm/produce market that I am working at for the summer has a real shortage of customers, so instead of tossing food in the compost, I pass slightly "past it" food to friends, including a few that have just left abusive relationships. When someone breaks out in tears of gratitude and hugs you because you just gave them 6 massive zucchinis, you know they are really in need.

Helping someone who is truly in need is such a wonderful feeling

Best part of the job. No matter how bad things can get for me, there is always someone worse off that I can help.

WendyJ, you have a good heart. I love sharing with people in need, whether it's a financial gift or a cabbage from the garden, seeing how it changes people's lives even if it's only in a small way, is so rewarding.

oh sumi, goats milk ice cream is wonderful smooth and silky. you'll like it I'd bet. i cant wait for you to get goats, there are so many things to try. and wendyj i agree, you're a kind hearted person and they are few and far between now a days. i think most of us can remember being in need and someone coming along out of the blue. God is great
