Greetings from Laughing Tree Brick Oven Bakery— It’s almost 10:30pm and I’ve just finished with the day’s work. The last tasks of the day (after putting children to bed) included chasing 15 chickens and 6 ducks around in the dark (they are young and haven’t figured out that going into their little house will keep them alive through the night). On my way back into the house I grabbed the half-bushel of beans I picked first thing this morning that never made it further than the front porch! Prior to that I carried all of the goodies from the market to the basement where our fridge lives: blueberries, melons, cherries. The peaches and plums are already sleeping on the counter. Tomorrow we’ll sort 50 pounds of OG blueberries and prep them for the freezer—and hopefully freeze some beans as well. Oh the season of abundance! Food and sunshine are abundant…and sleep is not. As I go up to bed I’ll put a blanket on Charlie who is catching up on sleep on the sofa—he fell asleep there at 8 o’clock… after just a handful of hours of sleep on Thursday and Friday nights. In the summer months of abundance, it is a joy to bake for you and your families. Somebody’s got to make the bread for tomato sandwiches!!
