Th...The white carrots look better than they taste. The dark red/purple ones are quite good. It is a mix from Renee's Seeds called Circus Circus http://www.reneesgarden.com/images/seedphotos/veg/carrot-circus.htm<br /><br />My grandfather worked the farm his whole life with only three vacations. But I do remember rainy afternoon naps, trips to the farm auctions, and plenty of ice cream! His hobbies were "farm hobbies". He collected arrow heads, hunted a bit and tinkered with steam engines and old cars. I don't ever remember anyone complaining of insomnia!<br /><br />When I get home from work, the first thing I do is run outside. Tim, on the otherhand, will be headed indoors to stretch out before supper. I can't wait to unfold and get out in the air. After a day of sun, wind, rain and dirt, Tim can't wait to get inside and be still!SmartAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219182373225762230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6705778064850148431.post-3803540345754443312011-09-22T13:54:47.743-04:002011-09-22T13:54:47.743-04:00It'll all be worth it when you're sitting ...It'll all be worth it when you're sitting inside, relaxing and snacking on your preserves and such this winter! <br /><br />btw What variety are those white carrots?

Unknown to the asker, dad worked from way before daylight till long past dark every day God sent. His answer was to point to his chair in the living room and say," I sit in my Lazy-Boy and I turn on the television and I look outside at whatever the weather is doing and I'm thankful I'm not out there in it. Sometimes I make it fifteen whole minutes before I'm asleep."<br /><br />Exactly. <br /><br />I love what we do but I sure don't love every part of it equally. I'm about ready for some easier days, too.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092424684260339977noreply@blogger.com
