Last week we delivered our last box of the season. All in all it was a great season, with amazing weather and good growing conditions. I can honestly say that I really enjoyed farming this year. But there is still a beauty in passing to a new season. Yesterday instead of harvesting and packing boxes we ate soup, napped and watched a movie in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

On Saturday we had a great time at a baby shower for Proeun’s little sister. So great to see the family growing! we also went to the city early so that Proeun could go a class for his work and I could help with the cooking. We did have a little time to kill so we went to the\u00a0Minneapolis Institute of Art<\/a>. We had been wanting to go for quite awhile. It is so fun to see kids react to art.<\/p>\n

Effie and Pray loved this exhibit. Effie was convinced it was space. I am not so sure. She would have sat there staring at it for a long time. Two was not amused by their interest.<\/p>\n

The kids were confused by this exhibit. “A kitchen is art?” But it was in the modernist section. I loved it. I am all about space saving solutions. Art well lived.<\/p>\n

This was a modern piece by an artist I know. I did several interviews of Cy Thao and followed his work in my other life as a writer for\u00a0Hmong Times<\/a>. Many of the refugee experiences of the Hmong are similar to the experiences of Proeun’s family. This piece depicts their transition from rural jungle to U.S.<\/p>\n

We still have alot of projects around here and are already excited about next year’s season. But these cooler days are a nice excuse to pursue other interests.<\/p>\n
