Running out the clock on 2008

Here's the last CSA farm box of 2008!

It contained broccoli, carrots, celery, squash, red onion, fingerling potatoes,

tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, pears, apples, tangerines, and oranges. Hmmm!

Last night, we loaded up Blue-Birdie (the Prius)

and headed for the Garden D'lights in Bellevue.

The botanical garden is transformed into a sensory Eden of colored lights.

This year there was a even veggie garden, complete with grape vines.
Here are the future farmers taking a break.
(Note, the Starbucks in Ari's hand!)

The snow has finally given way to our usual rain,

and we are out and about once again.

We are busy tonight trying to figure out our resolutions for the new year.

We hope you and all your loved ones have a wonderful new year!

May the sun always shine

On your 2009!
