We try to take it easy before the delivery route. They are usually ready for us between noon and 1pm. It's a long demanding day which we respect. Neil did work on the perennial patch a bit in the morning, but we mainly got ready for our first Friday doing the route alone. It was a wonderfully sunny and warm all day, clear blue skies. Perfect since this is the really curvy, winding roads up and down day. I drove and Neil navigated and ran the baskets. 
I do love driving the truck. It's quite an upper body strengthener as we do so many stops and sooooooo many turns and curves and up hills and down windy hills. It is a big rig sized wheel and you are the power for the steering... Someday we'll graduate to being able to do the route individually, but definitely not until later this summer as we'll have a whole new route to learn when the new season starts in June. Then we'll have that same season for the coming year.I managed to quickly snap some photos of how beautiful spring is here when we were stopped.
