avocado toast with soft boiled egg
My favorite time of the day is early morning. I wake up, pour myself a cup of coffee (thanks to Taylor for setting the automatic coffee timer the night before) take Henry for a short walk and then come home to look at the farm schedule we have laid out for the day.
The above photo is an example of our weekly seeding schedule. However, when we are not seeding or transplanting you will likely find us weeding, moving irrigation pipes, killing insects, cursing the weatherman, or crying.
The one thing that has proven to make our day better, no matter what the universe decides to throw at us, is beginning the day with a hearty breakfast.
I know we are not alone when it comes to the unknownness of the day that lies ahead. Everyone is entitled to a hearty breakfast. Whether you work in an office, take care of your children, care for your parents, help strangers, spend your days studying, or whatever you spend your days doing, you deserve a good hearty breakfast! I promise if you eat a breakfast like this you will feel unstoppable!
