Cloud Mountain Farm Harvest 2004 Report
Oct. 3rd, 2004 11:23 pm( Fruit tasting highlights )
They were out of Honeycrisps, alas, but I got Elstars, which are excellent apples for cooking as well as eating fresh, and a few pears, plus two pie pumpkins for very cheap.
And we had a lovely drive, so pleasant I didn't even finish The Grand Tour before coming home. Good conversation, though I had a hard time hearing (migraine threat? road noise?), and beautiful scenery. Plenty of turning trees along the road, though not as many as there'll be in a week or two, and great views of Mt. Baker and its associates.
Also one of the large LED displays that shows time and temperature added to those data "PREGNANT?" and then "DON'T KNOW", which cracked us up. (It went on to say "WHO TO CALL" and suggest a clinic that sounded like an anti-abortion place.) Wim, who is very smart, thought that it should've been a radar area, like those signs that tell you how fast you're going, only maybe ultrasound instead for the in-motion pregnancy test.
