Best part of working from home? Making lunch while participating in important meetings ✨
The smallest things are giving me the most comfort right now. I’m treasuring the quaint traditions we continue through this pandemic and the little bits of normal we work into our days. Weekly runs with my love, Friday night fish fry to support restaurant friends, batch cooking, trails, big weekend breakfasts, sunny days at the farm, too much passion-filled work on my plate, and this perfect little Sunday cheeseboard picnic. These are some of our pillars that have been able to endure. Thanks @fromagination for this adorable little social distancing cheese kit and for helping this Sunday feel oddly comforting and absolutely delicious.
Following @sethgodin’s lead and staring this Saturday with a whole lot of acknowledgments because honestly I’m just so grateful to be feeling this good in the midst of something so challenging and so certain that humanity will always be there to support one another. I want to say thanks to my hubby, @enjoy_this_organic_life, @radically.cyclical.being, @alana.mckeever, @juderudersdorf and @jtrem15 for being my rocks and listening and sharing with me pretty much every day. Isolation is hard for this social being and you make daily life so much brighter. I’m grateful for so much wild raw nature around me and to @tony4wi for keeping it open for now. Speaking of that guy (and his right hand man @theothermandela), I’m grateful to our government for so many reasons— great leadership, intelligent informed timely decision making, and excellent communication as things keep evolving. I’m thankful for my boss at @midwestadvocates for making the transition to working from home so much smoother and less lonely than I ever expected. And to @ediblemadison, @lovewiproject and @pastureandplenty for not halting new projects but continuing to dive straight into powerful new ideas. I’m thankful for work and incomes that feel largely stable. I’m grateful to Vanessa at @maketimefarm for keeping life light and playful, to @fairsharecsa and @reapmadison for reacting, pivoting, and thinking so quickly about the ways they need to show up for farmers, to @nataliehinahara for filling my days with more art, to @leahroeceo for always being an energetic and authentic leader, to @kickapoocoffee for being generous in encouraging us all to be a little more grateful, and to @tmills608, @grazemadison, @tamilax and @harvest_madison_wi for giving us a lovely dual fish fry date night. And obviously I’m grateful to all the hospital workers, grocery store attendants, fellow farmers, postal workers, delivery drivers, and whoever the heck is keeping all our technology running smoothly so we can still feel connected. You help our most vital needs stay well taken care of and you are seen. I’m sure I’m missing some (if not many) folks but this is my list now in this moment. I’m grateful for you 🙏
Finally!!!! ✨I had the mental space to write you all a blog post about something other than COVID feelings. I’m so grateful to have broken out of that haze, if only for a moment, to write so many words about our new HOOP HOUSE! Head to the blog for a delicious, simple, pantry-friendly recipe for Chickpea Salad Toast plus so many (I hope) humorous words about what a hoop house is, what it’s usually used for, and why we’re not going to use ours that way. Happy Friday friends. I wish you the most joyous weekend of sunny, warm April weather. I hope you also find a moment to break through the haze.
