Being a Gardener...
From Gardening for a Lifetime; How to Garden Wiser as You Grow Older by Sydney Eddison:
"Being a gardener stops you from the willing destruction of the fragile world on which we all depend for food, health, and the air we breathe. And if gardening doesn't make you a better person, at least it reveals the best that is in you."

Local TX Dew-liscious Melon
A very tasty melon with crisp, juicy, sweet flesh. I saved the seeds and will try to grow this melon in PDX.

What I'm Reading
Pa and Ma and Mary and Laura and Baby Carrie.
Ma is my role model, a true minimalist. Disappointed that their new home was a dugout in a creek bank, she looked on the bright side; "It's clean and pleasant." That was good enough for her and it's good enough for me, too.
