What did YOU do today?

Well, on the way home from school, Jett and I saw a cabbage truck!  Notice the exclamation point.  It was an old pickup trailing several rickety wood wagons overfilled with cabbage heads.  Now when I say overfilled, I mean to at least twice the height of the wagons.  I don’t know why they fill them so high because cabbage casualties around this area are high.  You’ll be driving down the road and find a trail of cabbage leaves and heads.   Cabbage roadkill is a common daily occurrence.

So it being a slow and beautiful day, we hung a right and followed the truck down the twisty country road.   Splat…one cabbage.  Thunk.  Another one goes flying.  A country mile and a half dozen cabbage later, it still hasn’t lost its entertainment value.  When the cabbage truck arrives at its destination, we make a u-turn to head back and begin the even slower process of spotting and picking all the abandoned cabbages and tossing them into the back of the truck.

I considered making a stir-fry with cabbage for dinner, but instead offered our very appreciative goats a cabbage feast.  That’s what I did today.
