S.piral Path Farm

My friend Steph and I share a share of S.piral Path Farm CSA and they have several open farm days in the summer.  We went today to get tomatoes and other items for sauce and salsa. Baylor wet through his shorts on the drive up and had to wear the 'spare' clothes in the diaper bag.  Not a very manly choice but he pulled it off with style. 

He wanted to help and did a great job carrying his basket with basil and we did not lose too many to the gravel. 

His current obsession is tractors and there were many on the farm and some were working.  He can hear an engine miles away and would spot the tractors and trucks before I could point them out.  He does that at home too.  He is an excellent airplane spotter and will call out the motorcycles and trucks as the go by the house.  And since we live on a major road and along the path to the airport, we see lots of planes and hear lots of vehicle traffic.  The fair had a tractor parade and he sat still for the entire parade.  That is a long time for him! 

We went to the tomato greenhouse, or tomato garage as Baylor called it and they were abundant!  The plants were taller than me and just loaded with red tomatoes.  Not that I needed any but I bet we have 15 lbs of them to figure out what to do with tomorrow.  Baylor really loved scratching in the dirt.  He is all boy after all. 

 

After the farm we visited at Steph's for awhile and went shopping.  We  both love Wegman's.  Baylor loves it because there are snack samples everywhere and a train in the dairy department.  I love it because it is the best grocery store ever!  When I go on vacation my highlight is going to grocery stores.  I  usually have to go by myself because very few people can appreciate a grocery store with me. I may be crazy but I am ok with that.  We went to Karn's to for the stuff we did not get at Wegman's.  Thankfully he fell asleep on the way home and I unpacked the car while he slept and slept a bit in bed afterward.  We played outside the rest of the afternoon visiting with the neighbors and had a surprise visit from friends attending a wedding reception over at the fire hall pavilion.  It was great seeing them again as we saw them last week for the fair.  They have lots of pictures of Baylor and I have none of their four kids but I hope to remedy that by having them over again soon.  It was a good day.
