Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Maybe in December.

The warm months are even better, though if you really want to brave December, I have a spare room. And katzen. As long as it isn't around the holidays.

The Las Cruces Farmer's Market is simply awesome, so I have high standards, but I'm happy with mine. So there are no biscochos or chile-brown-sugar pecans or a bazillion woodworkers and jewelers (it's really too local for that, whereas the LC one serves the entire county) but it does the local thing really well, and great veggies, in such a tiny space.

OK, I change my mind everytime I type it: Farmer's or farmers'??

Farmers's'

Oh, c'mon - somebody had to do it, no matter how wrong it was.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey, did you hear about the farmer who was out standing in his field?

Oh, time for bad farmers' jokes?

I've got one more appropriate to the season.

Q: Why did the snowman drop his pants? A: Because he saw the snowblower approaching!

And, yes, that's a joke I first heard in junior high.

Q: Why did the farmer throw the clock out the window? A: He wanted to see time fly.

Umm... I'm not sure what being a farmer had to to with it. Maybe he wasn't.

Black Penguin

National Geographic Traveler contributing editor Andrew Evans snapped this photo of a rare black penguin during his travels around the world to Antarctica.

He wrote that it’s a "rare melanistic trait that’s practically undocumented" on king penguins.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Our farmers` market is closed during the winter and only open one day a week during the harvest seasons. But I can get local organic free range eggs at the kitchen store and they are NOM so much better. You can tell a huge difference in the darkness and richness of color in the yolk. And in taste too, obvs, but you can see it too. My farmer neighbor also sells eggs, and I check on the chickens all the time driving by (they look happy) but since he doesn`t put out his veggie sign in winter, I`m afraid to stop by just for eggs.
