This morning, I woke up to see that nostr:npub1jrx2fk666k5nt8vgak9xwyxlgcwh8fl9rvpwvvcpdthuqkcnptrqdfhtaq had arranged this amazing display!

Not all of it was a surprise; I arranged the flowers yesterday, and we bought the applejack and maple syrup on our last trip through #wv knowing it would be a birthday gift (though I can’t really use the applejack until at least November, I’m looking forward to it!)

But the box of blackcurrant goodies was a wonderful surprise! It doesn’t take a long conversation with me to discover that 1. blackcurrants are one of my top three favorite fruits, and 2. they’re not legal to grow in many U.S. states for obsolete reasons, which 3. I’m interested in remedying if we settle in one of those states, just like 4. this one farmer in New York did, getting the ban there overturned all by himself.

This gift box is from THAT New York farmer! I’m so excited to try all his goodies, especially the chocolate bar - blackcurrants and dark chocolate go so well together, and with pine nuts added, it’s bound to be good.

(Even the box is cute!)

Many thanks to my thoughtful love for a birthday that’s already amazing!
