Our housemate, Doug turned 30 today! To honor this milestone, I made him a birthday painting of my new favorite vegetable, the Hakurei turnip. It is a vegetable he introduced to Andrew and I last fall when he moved in and planted a few things in the garden. We were delighted! Both by the arrival of this turnip, and by the arrival of Doug, who like the turnip, is sweet and tender!
Doug works managing a vegetable farm in Concord, MA on Thoreau's old farm. It is called Gaining Ground and serves to provide free vegetables to the underprivileged. Not only does he do genuinely good work in the world, he is a genuine good guy, just like Thoreau. Happy birthday, Doug!
