Spring is just around the corner. We have been lucky in that our winter has been mild ... compared to last year. So I took a chance and planted the vegetable garden today. Got some green beans, different types of sweet peppers, a poblano pepper, cucumber, and I thought I would try some onions. Okay, the onions were an impulse buy at the nursery.
Today I helped out at M.O.M. (Market on the Move). St. Cyril decided to participate in this farmer market and it has been very successful. The wholesale produce that is not sold is brought up to Tucson from Nogales and set up at various non-profit organizations around town. My church has the 2nd Saturday. For $10 you get 60 pounds of produce. Last month they had zukes, tomatoes, and lots of peppers (among other produce). Today they had cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, and lots of green beans. In the past all the produce was just placed in the landfill, so it is a great community opportunity to have this an opportunity for fresh produce at a reasonable rate.
This weekend is the Festival of Books. This is the 4th year for this festival and it is already the 4th largest book festival in the nation. We'll be going there tomorrow.
Tim is keeping up with the tax filings. Hey, this year you have a few extra days so the deadline is April 17th. Need help? He can most likely help you.
I had an opportunity last month to visit MA, which was great. Got to catch up with my cousins and friends from my Brazil days. Luckly it snowed the evening before I left. Looking forward to a "girls' weekend" at the end of March -- meeting up with sister Carol and cousins Beth and Catherine in San Diego. They have been been to San Diego so it should be a great adventure. On top of it...we'll be able to see brother Len.
