Once again, I was reading garden books before bed, hoping to inspire pastoral dreams.  Last night it didn’t work and no sheep peacefully grazed on green pastures.  I woke up fitfully, thinking about my day job and why someone should write a book called “Not Everything Is Urgent on Fridays.”

I digress.

Here are some of the things I’m thinking about this weekend:

Winter Market
It’s CSA Day at the Winter Market.  If you’ve ever considered participating in Community Sponsored Agriculture (CSA), Saturday’s Winter Market at Exeter High School is the place to go!  Last year, I joined Wild Miller Farms in Lee.  Not only did Joel and Annalisa Miller grow lots of delicious kale, spinach, and potatoes, they also grew ginger and provided raw milk!  I was able to “drop in” at the farm if I needed something or just wanted to poke around and see what they were doing.  But you don’t have to tiptoe through the mud and muck of a farm to enjoy CSA.  The basic concepts of each CSA are similar, yet each farm has a unique characteristic and growing style.  Find one just right for you on Saturday and love local food, farms, and farmers just like I do!

On Your Radio
My big brother is a writer and this spring, Down East Books is publishing his book “Moxie: Maine in a Bottle.”  If you’re up early Sunday morning, you can listen to him discuss his book on the following stations, most of which can be heard here on the Seacoast:

5:00 a.m.   WHOM-94.9 FM
6:00 a.m.   WBLM-102.9
7:00 a.m.   WCYY-94.3 FM

Live Music
One of my friends is in a band called “The Minus Trio” and they’re playing Saturday night at The Grog in Newburyport.  Wanna shake it up?

What are you doing this weekend?
