the harvest

When one's garden is for the most part incredibly sad and pathetic, the joy of a harvest, no matter how small, seems all the more intense.

Tonight's dinner:
- potatoes, unearthed from the backyard garden ... TODAY (seasoned with freshly snipped rosemary and parsley from the patio garden, and garlic from the farmer's market)
- green beans, picked from the backyard garden ... TODAY
- venison steaks, from a friend who went hunting in Canada
