It gives me a good feeling. I can't wait until spring! There is something old-fashioned about sharing with one's neighbours, isn't there? It gives me a good feeling. I can't wait until spring!

You'd be able to take time off and have them cover if necessary and vice versa to share the effort and the reward. All the best with that. I'm enjoying the unseasonably warm weather as well here in Toronto, but we got our first snow today, Dec 7th. I think it'd be great if you start a bit of a cooperative with your neighbours.

The site is free both for the food pantries and the gardeners using it. More than 1,100 food pantries nationwide are already on it and more are signing up daily. It has received backing from the USDA, Google, many faith and service organizations, bloggers, writers, etc. If you are a gardener with extra produce, please use the site to share what you wish with a community pantry. If you belong to a house of worship that hosts a food pantry/bank/shelf, please let them know about AmpleHarvest.org and encourage them to register on the site (remind them it is free). Lastly, please email/call/Tweet your friends around the country and let them know about AmpleHarvest.org. AmpleHarvest.org enables people to help their community by reaching into their back yard instead of their back pocket.

How lucky your family is to be able to share in the booty. :) I hope your delivery goes well and will be anxious to hear of the wee one. Good to see you're back, Amy!
