I'll spare you the economic and ethical philosophy behind any of it (blah, blah, blah) -- for now, let's just focus on the food.
Starting from the beginning . . .

 These pictures are from February, when we first visited the house on our real estate hunt. When I stepped out back and saw this breath-taking view, I asked myself how could one man be so lucky to provide such a fertile paradise to his family? I suddenly felt a profound spiritual connection to the pioneers who originally settled the Pacific Northwest; it just didn't seem possible to me at the time -- beyond my greatest hopes and imagination -- that we could ever actually own a full quarter acre of such topographical brilliance . . . with all its varied color and wildlife, the unbelievably verdant vegetation . . . and of course, endless species of turf grass and crickets. A paean to biodiversity.
