Ah, a lavender lemonade in a rocker on a porch with a grand view in North Idaho. Doesn't get much better than that! If only I could partake. But it's time to pull nails from recycled fence wood. Not half as much fun as your day.

Your garden is amazing. Even if you are inundated with weeds. As the amazeballs (thanks GK for that) HH would say, "You can eat many of those weeds". Though I have no clue which... ). We haven't even started our garden yet. I hope kale and collards at least get planted. Love those things. Your greens all look divine. And will be oh-so-soon soon edible. I like the idea of the crock pot radish/potatoe wannabe's. That sounds grand, and very good for you. We have about 12+ crock pots for cooking down fruits. Works pretty well. They are an under appreciated cookery pot of today's world. (And for those of you on the edge of your chairs, just WAITING for some more, other, fascinating subjects of discussion, stay tuned, while I discuss the latest find at the hardware store: a more intensely curved 'Wonder Bar' for increased efficiency in nail pulling. Riveting stuff, I tell you, downright RIVETING stuff. )

Well, I better go get to work. The neighbors fence is calling out to me, "finish me, please". I hope all is well in your corner of things, and your buddy Rufus is still going and other 'stuff' is working as it should. Have a nice weekend, and keep on keepin' on. Cheers, Le' Skillette
Nice
