The same deluge that’s been teasing out the ragweed and the thistles in miserable numbers has been working wonders on our garden.

Sure, the tomatoes are [...]
Thank you to all for the plethora of suggestions on how to beat the seasonal snotties. I take it you were not impressed with my plan of barring the doors and windows and never venturing forth into polite company again?
Worries over me becoming a hermit are groundless. Why just today I strolled out through the [...]
It’s time. We are ready to hit the road, Jack.
