second pond!

Today on the farm, my second-to-last day of this two week stint, I had probably my worst delivery to date. It wasn't the end of the world, and everyone was happy, but I felt a little ridiculous when I pulled up to the farm and realized that Mezze's entire order was still in the trunk. So I sped back into town, wasted some time and gas, and at least I got them the correct case of lettuce.

Last year, my biggest problem was that I would forget to look at my labels on the lettuce boxes to see which were for which restaurant. Again, the problem was with Mezze, the only restaurant that had any special request about which types of lettuce they ordered.

I went to sleep last night accidentally. Before midnight, probably the first time in months that that has happened. Noah woke me up at around 1:30 because I was apparently lying on my sheets with the light on and a book on my face. So after I realized that it wasn't morning and I wasn't going to be shoved into the farm van and whisked away, I brushed my teeth and dove into the covers.

I discovered the second pond today! If even once last year I had walked ten feet past the place where I dumped hundreds of pounds of weeds, I would have discovered the second pond. It is significantly murkier than the first one. I think it is a naturally occurring pond.
