Found some Octavia Butler books. Picked one up, thinking it'd been a long time since I'd read her

Not five pages in, I remembered *why* I don't read her books more often.

My god that woman wrote some depressing shit. I mean, it's well-written (which doesn't help, believe me), and it's always topical (which doesn't help), but it's depressing as hell.

Outside it's sunny, and the birds are singing, and all I can think is that if the world ends we're totally screwed oh god no. Just what I needed in my day.

CSA

We're winding down for the year. Gotta sign up for Winter CSA soon...!

Let's see:

2.5 pounds tomatoes
2 heirloom tomatoes
1 watermelon (part of the veggie share, not the fruit share)
4 heads garlic
.5 pound salad greens
1 box yellow plums OR pears - I was so sick of plums, I took the pears - but they're not ripe enough for me :(
1 box purple grapes (ew, hate purple grapes, I'll give them to the kids)
1 pound and a half carrots
A dozen eggs

Edit: And a jar of apple butter!
