Yes!

Something to do!

A little while ago, I found this organization called OOOOBY, Out Of Our Own Backyards. It's a collaborative effort full of local gardeners and those passionate about all things fresh, local and sometimes organic.

There's the link if you want to check it out.

They started this thing a few weeks ago where you pay some $$ each week and, on a Monday, delivered to your doorstep, is this box full of gorgeous produce! Fruits and vegetables all sourced locally. It's truly a beautiful thing.

I'm happy to say I was one of the first to sign up for this service so was in on the beginnings of things and get to have some input each week about what I think of the contents of the box, etc. Let's face it, I love pretty much anything delivered to my doorstep and hey, any human contact I can have during the day is welcome so why not!

All my feedback has been very positive because they are truly doing a wonderful job.

I offered my help in exchange for a free box (I'll work for it instead of pay for it).

Sooo, starting this coming Monday, I'll go help pack the boxes and then deliver them!

I'm very excited. Maybe this'll lead to more involvement. Who knows. At the very least I'll get that longed for human contact and meet some groovy people and maybe get some gardening tips, too.
