Hey, guess what? The sun is out and I was walking around the shop in shorts and a T-shirt for some time today! Its quite amazing outside, so get on your bikes and enjoy it. I am starting to see bikes emerge all over the city from the snow plow drifts. You people are killing me. Dig those things out already and reclaim the roads! At least for me I can have a little extra space for safety between moving and parked cars. Somerville Ave. is just ridiculous because all the beautiful new bike lanes are still jam-packed with parked cars. Well, I hope you motorists can understand why we are taking up your lanes now. I also noticed it was really easy to go fast today. Either its because I lost weight shedding all the layers or there’s some physics and chemistry going on out there that I just don’t quite understand. I am proud of those of you who let your cars stay where they were the whole winter so hopefully you realise there’s really no need for them at all. Probably not going to happen, but one can only hope. So… I doubt the winter is anywhere near done being only the beginning of Februrary and all, but keep the sun out. That’s all I’m asking.

Remember to keep shopping local and enjoying all the great things right here in your community. We are proud to deliver fresh produce from farms throughout Massachusetts and items from dozens of local businesses around Boston. I’m about to get back out there to enjoy today’s fresh catch from Cape Ann (fish). Two lucky residents will receive today’s catch and one other will be receiving 20lbs of fresh, frozen Massachusetts beef and pork. I picked up my share this weekend and I’m thinking about some nice pork ribs, mashed potatoes and spinach. All grown and raised within 50 miles of here. Imagine that.

Enjoy the sunshine!
