I remember another September 11th when we had a harvest day. A family came out to help harvest and told us that an airplane had flown into the World Trade Center. At first I pictured a small airplane that had gotten lost in the clouds or something. It was eerie that day going about the business of the harvest and market, with no airplanes flying overhead and pauses to watch or listen to the news and sink into the horror of the day. What I remember most was that it was a beautiful, crisp Fall day with an abundant harvest, which seemed so at odds with what was happening in the world.
