Vitamin me

I spent the afternoon at the A Rocha Harvest Festival. It had been quite a few weeks since I was there, so it was good to be back. I've volunteered for A Rocha for nearly four years so I have 'history' there even though I'm a somewhat 'peripheral' volunteer rather than on staff. In my bio on their website I call myself an invasive species - gets transplanted from a foreign place and is impossible to get rid of.
Today my assigned task was to help with garlic braiding, as it has been for the last couple of years, and I enjoy it but I also got to wander around and see familiar faces I don't see often enough, steal a pumpkin (didn't have any change) and enjoy the crisp fall sunshine.

And we were also shelling dried beans. How gorgeous are these? They look like Orca beans but purple. Spot the errant pinto bean...

And now it's roasted veg and homemade pesto for dinner, with a cup of tea.

Life is good. Life is very good.
