It was so great yesterday with the family at the farm. We had several orders that I sort of "lost" and all had to be picked frantically before the people drove up the driveway. For three hours the entire family right down to the five year old worked as a team picking and sorting, and then when the last of the orders was filled, we all collapsed in the house. What a great thing to do together.
The 15 year old told me he plans to go back to Haiti next year. I'm really glad! He's such a neat kid. He just picked up a new lawn-mowing contract; for the church! He is a busy boy. Friday, I gave him a new responsibility. He is now our 'field manager'. This means that it is up to him to decide each day where to put U-pickers and pre-pickers, and through-out the mornings make all the little decisions about placing people in rows. It is such great leadership and management training. I'm so grateful for the opportunities that having a family farm provides.
Tomorrow is our first day of U-picking. There is a chance of severe weather, including hail, tonight. We shall pray for protection, and remember to bless the Lord no matter what comes. After that, it looks like the weather will finally pull out of this gloomy, wet pattern and break into beautiful summer sunshine.
