water, ripening tomatoes, and carrots

1. the well no longer works out here at the farm. it did, as of, 11:00pm last night. 6am this morning? nope. mike was kind enough to wake me and tell me so. hendrix slept in until 9:45.am which means i could have, too. if the well worked. someone is coming to fix it tomorrow afternoon. in the meantime, serious water restrictions happening with the makeshift well.
2. hendrix found a cucumber in the garden, right about the time i noticed the cherokee purple tomatoes finally ripening. he tried to eat the cucumber, but it was prickly. prickly cucumber combined with a cold equals tears.
3. i just pulled a bunch of beautiful carrots out of the garden. there is nothing more beautiful then a freshly pulled carrot. this made the whole "6am no water and the well is broke wake up call" better. it's amazing what food will do for the soul.
