Did You Miss It? May's PitP

Avocados!

"I wish we had some avocados."

"You know what we're missing here? Avocados."

Avocado. Avocado. Avocado.

I kept hearing people sing about avocados throughout the morning of our monthly PitP meet up but the green bumpy fruit with a smooth, creamy interior never showed up.

Instead, we were greeted by these fruits, plants and grains.

 

 

 

But when I saw the hydrangea that Corrina gave to our mother-to-be Heather, it reminded me to not only be grateful for the mother in our lives, but also the people.

We sometimes forget how good we have it at PitP.

We sometimes forget to appreciate everyone's willingness to pitch and make each month's PitP enjoyable, whether that means bringing hot coffee, baking or buying pastries, sharing their produce, or even just showing up with a big smile.

At the end of the day, it's not about what we get. It's not about the avocados.

It's about what we already have.

 

 Thank you to everyone, every month, and the days in between, for being amazing.

Reminder: May 4 Produce in the Park

 

 Tell me you're ready.

Put on those shoes, 

throw the produce in the bag, 

grab the family, 

and head out to May's Produce in the Park!

 

What?

You're not ready?

Don't worry, you have a week to prepare. 

See you there!

Did You Miss It? April's PitP

The weather was a bit cloudy and chilly but we still had a great turnout for this month's PitP.

Let's start with these gigantic chocolate chip cookies. Fresh and warm from the oven that morning.

Ms. Karen Moore arrived promptly at 9 a.m. with her infamous sticks on fire. She proudly showcased her stalk.

 

Ms. Moore isn't alone. We all proudly showcased our produce.

 

 

 

 

Some of us even showcased our talents.

High five!

Did You Miss It? January 2013

You wake up groggy and turn to the clock on your bedside. It's 9:30am. You had planned on being at PitP half an hour ago.

Should you still go?

Your tired eyes tell you no but your conscience tells you yes. You didn't go last month.

You drag yourself out of bed. 

You show up at PitP.

You find this:

  

Breakfast, provided by this month's PitP host, Karen.

Perfect.

As you munch, you slowly make your way to the produce table...

 

   

 

  

 

 

Aren't you glad you came?
