HARDER TO DO WHAT YOU LOVE WHEN YOU'RE BETWEEN JOBS...

I have been especially remiss during October and have not been blogging--mostly because I've now been looking for a new full-time job for six months... I can't believe it's been that long!!! I am determined to solve this particular puzzle, and I'm hoping that one of the people who knows how hard I work and what I have to offer will help me make a winning connection.



In the meantime--I'm keeping very busy. Yesterday I volunteered at the Audubon Fall Roost benefit, primarily helping with the silent auction. Tonight, I filled in for someone who couldn't volunteer at her CSA--the community group that buys a farm's output and then distributes it each week. It was a wet one but lots of nice people--though I was a little disappointed in what was on offer this evening. I had hoped for squash, parsnips, turnips, something chunky--but it's been a rough year for the farmers. Tonight I got more greens than I have seen or cooked--mustard greens, turnip greens, collard greens, and some other mysterious stuff, plus dill, and parsley, and radishes or beets, I forget.
To be honest, I don't know if I'm going to be able to eat them or cook them, but I want to try and do something with them.

My best treat from getting soaked tonight was 2 bags (about 30!) Macoun apples...super fresh and tasty.
Other exciting news--my book postcards arrived from Vistaprint, as did my new business cards.
I'll post photos soon.

Hang in there, BA...
