A WriteOut Prompt
Once again we write and share for #writeout from the National Writing Project / National Park Service two week celebration of parks and the outdoors.

My Dinner Table
Every meal I am thankful to those who around the world connected to the ecosystem of farming — so many people and livelihoods are involved in bringing the food we eat to us. Even the National Park Service has restaurants featuring local foods. Take a look at your plate tonight and say a thank you to those who worked to bring it to your from soil and toil to table. If you would like more information on farming, visit the student center at the National Agriculture in the Classroom website.

Fruitful Fields
Sometimes I wonder where my food comes from [USDA], whenever I pass through an area growing crops — in fields and orchards or farms and ranches to systems of safety and delivery– I snap a picture to remind myself that these people are indeed so important.

Rows of Green 
Along the Okanogan River

Sunflowers Deer Park 
Orchard on Columbia River 
Wheat in the Palouse 
Wheat on Rolling Hills 
Stretching across miles 
Working the Fields 
Everywhere on the Horizon 
In all weather and around the rocks in the soil

Forever Thankful
Forever Thankful
Forever thankful-yes:

In weather unpredictable
On land rolling in rocks,
The strong ones toil in every season-
planning, preparing, planting, producing-
food that graces our table
Yes: thankful forever.
