Treat people the way you want to be treated.  Talk to people the way you want to be talked to.  Respect is earned not given.

       Darel slept a lot yesterday.  No surprise.  He joined us at the picnic table for a lunch of leftovers and then sat under the pine tree watching Doug mow for awhile.  Our pastor visited him in the afternoon.  Pastor Cindy was here too but she and I mostly talked about the greenhouse and family. The first of my 2018 order deadlines in the end of the week. A friend who is a nurse has spent time with Cindy's parents this week why Cindy has been in Maine, it has been a good week for them.
      I picked tomatoes and cucumbers yesterday, sold them and had to call Gilbert to refil the stand,  He always has extra vegetables.  he is glad to sell them.  His tomatoes are the field ripened New Girls so they are smaller than mine i'm getting from the hoop house.  But smaller or not they are ripened on the vie organic tomatoes.  i need to go get some more large zucchini.  Even though it is hot lots of people much be making relish and bread.
      Doug, Jordn and the girls are picking rocks why it is cool.  Then the lime truck will come and Doug will reseed another field.  Hopefully with fewer milkweed to pull.  I know the Monarchs need milkweed but it will ruin a field of hay.  It is poison to animals.  There are lots of places we can grow it besides hayfields.
      Have a good day, Sally
