Fitting in the important stuff

Going into the heart of the local produce deal here in Quebec and northern New York, it is important to keep the blinders off.  Sometimes the exigencies of the day to day business blots out the rest of your life.  Get up at dawn, go to bed after dark and the weekends blur together.  You begin to feel like an interloper in your family's life.  This year I have promised the love of my life I will try hard not to let the tyranny of business and the garden stop me from enjoying the multitude of pleasures available here in one of the most beautiful areas in the world.  The mountains, lakes and dare I say, the golf courses are at their peak this time of year.  We'll see, I hope.
