Oh Happy Day - An Ode to My Veggie CSA

(written while eating 3 pints of fresh picked strawberries and drinking bubbly, so forgive me)

What is my happiest day of the year?

Not Christmas, my birthday or the New Year.

There is a day, in spring, I must say
Not marked historically or by holiday
It is the year's very first CSA distribution day.

I wait for and plan for, with recipes all planned
The year's first receipt of bounty direct from the land
Bags full of veggies and fruits each picked by hand.

Surely, I have a garden, a grocer and market nearby
But, getting a harvest picked the same day is why
I look forward to June's first farm share, what a high!
