We recieved a package in the mail last week from Cumberland Books.
Now I can resume my forays into philosophical agrarianism. To illustrate that I am a serious philosophical agrarian I will relate an incident that occurred on the way to the baseball game yesterday.
We passed the farmer’s stand that I haunt and it had a big sign saying Fresh Strawberries.
I wasn’t driving so we whizzed past without stopping and I expressed disappointment.
Later the driver, trying to make it up to me, noticed a sign that said U Pick Strawberrries.
“Do you want me to stop?” He kindly asked.
“Goodness no, I don’t want to pick them!”
I almost resent Herrick Kimball’s title Writings of a Delibrate Agrarian
Is that a rebuke or something? Both of my grandfather’s were handsome and had big garden’s too. (Buy the book.)
Seriously, I am enjoying the book so far and love Mr Kimball’s writing style.
Tomorrow I will tell you about what I am listening to from Cumberland Books.

haha … that brought a smile to my face.
I say the same thing when Mom goes blueberry picking. I have no desire to pick em, but I certainly have no problem reaping her harvest. On humid summer days, philosophical agrarianism suits me just fine. :0)

Don’t worry about it, Cindy. You write about it so well, and that’s really important.

“Tag you’re it!”
Our dear friend, Mike, tagged me. Now you’re supposed to write a blog which includes 6 interesting, weird, or little known facts about yourself and then tag 6 other people (list them at the bottom of your post).
