Early Sunrise Mornings

Sunrise over the farm

I (Anna) was up early this morning, due to Julia's determination to ruin all hopes of a good night's sleep. It was very early.  Early enough to watch the sunrise after the coffee had finished perking in the french press.   The glow of the greenhouses caught my eye and I could hardly change lenses quick enough to keep up with the rising sun.

Farmer Vince, on the other hand, has been up almost this early these past few weeks just because there are so many time-sensitive things to do right now.  If there is daylight you might as well use it, right?  Saturday and Monday morning CSA deliveries needing to be ready at 10am sandwich the Sunday market for which we also need to be ready by 10.  These early mornings are fueled by our desire (and need) to harvest most everything the morning we sell it.  This may change a bit when we have refrigeration some day.  On the bright side, (pun intended) up-with-the-sun mornings sure beat harvesting-by-headlamp mornings.  Needless to say, we will really enjoy our weekends "off" come the second half of November.
