Canning Season is Coming

Picture it: a warm end of day, clinking glasses, the sound of chairs being moved across a few square meters of asphalt to make room for friends, laughter and good food. It’s the beginning of June, and the first signs of summer are here. We can feel it in the air, and on the farmer’s, market stalls, overflowing with all its fresh and colorful glory.

Gardens

Pictures of gardens are lovely...but nothing is like getting your hands dirty to stir the memories in your mind. I had to get through the grief (and still will need more time) in order to see the potential of my gardens going forward. What was it Soren Kierkegard said? "Life can only be understood backwards, but it MUST be lived forwards."
