Of Storms, Babies & Deliveries

As many of you know, I am like the postal service...No rain, snow, sleet, hail, tornado, wife in hospital, help off at fiddle camp, drought or plague of locusts (well, maybe not so much the last two) will keep me from my appointed rounds. Last week I stood in the pouring rain bagging produce while the sky was electric and my ears boomed with thunder. I will always be there, or have tried to contact you, with the following caveat...

Some time in the next couple of weeks, our son is going to decide to emerge into the world, the most important delivery of our lives. I will endeavor to make sure everyone gets fed/flowered, but I may fail depending on when the day comes. I will apologize in advance and hope to make it up to you somehow.

Everything will flow as well as can be expected or engineered. I may have to ask folks to come to the farm, or I may have to deliver later in the week, or I may have to actually cancel a week, if that is o.k.? Hopefully, I will be able to rely on my erstwhile assistants or friends. I just don't want anyone else to have to drive my truck. It ain't safe.

Your farmer.
