THE FARMS ARE OPEN FOR THE SEASON

Yeah, the farms are open for the season. I will drive out Monday and pick up some beautiful fresh veggies. I will now get all my produce at the farms through October. No more nasty grocery store vegetables or lack luster cold storage fruits. This is something I look forward to every spring. Right now the offerings will mostly be from Washington state and CA.  However every veggie and fruit is perfect and the best you can purchase this time of year. Soon there will offerings from various farms in the valley and from the farm itself. That is when I get really excited!

Hubby is refinishing hardwood floors in a veterinarian clinic in Springfield today. The clinic is in an old house.  He only has three days to complete the job as they will be open on Tuesday for business as usual. So it will be a long day today as he needs to get all the floors sanded. Then the next two days the coats of commercial finish will be applied.
It is nice today to have the house to myself. I have a few things I want to accomplish.

I will clean the inside of our truck today. I noticed when I was riding in it the last time it is due for a spiffing up. Weather permitting I will clean the hot tub cover and deck. There is office chores again not to many but the top of my big desk is once again covered with items that need filed or tossed.

I am going to put boneless pork ribs into the slow cooker with salsa verde and onions and garlic for pork burrito's this evening. Hubby will want a traditional burrito in a flour tortilla. I will make mine taco size in soft corn shells. I am making pinto beans for a side. As he may be later than usual a slow cooker meal is a good choice as you can hold it.

Our chicken fingers were so crispy on the outside and tender juicy on the inside. There were several left over so I made my husband a chicken tender sandwich for his lunch loaded with onion and pickles and sauce. Looked pretty yummy I hope he enjoys it. I will munch on the last two for my lunch today. I usually prefer a protein lunch as it keeps me going strong for the remainder of the day.

I need to email a couple of friends so I will exit this post now.
The weekend is upon us so have a good one!
This is Lone Pine Farms produce five minutes from my house. So wonderful makes my mouth water just looking at this photo.
