Mourning Dove snatches a Robin's Next
Damn it! I was just about to get that sloppy nest down when a new neighbor moved in and rarely moved.My research revealed that yes, the doves are lazy and reuse nests.
My Newest Obsession: Dahlia
Obsidian star dahlia. Star-shaped flowers of deepest cabernet -almost black- around the golden yellow anthers. These will bloom until the frost

Preparing for the Future - Vegetable gardening
Hey, a word.
This blog has evolved into storage space for photos from the past and current life. I still stalk brick. Assuming anyone is reading here's my advice: Learn to make your own soil, learn to garden, learn to can your produce, and save the seeds from what you've grown.
It's best to grow your produce raised well above the ground to prevent rabbits from eaing it. Raised beds arn't enough. I use things I've scored in alleys. Outdoor tables work best. Wood drawers from discarded dressers. Drill them for drainage. Plant seasonal crops: lettuce grows in the spring and fall and can survice in cold weather.
Buy an outdoor composter tumbler on legs. A compost pile on the ground just attracts rodents and requires maintenance.
Composter tumblers are to be placed in full sunlight. They are black to provide extra heat. Make your own soil and always harvest your seeds from what you've raised.

So hot in herre
Direct from my garden feat a rabid heat. I stay 2 feet away from these except when harvesting. Closer contact makes me sneeze.

Dinner from the Yard
Agriculture is the art and science of cultivating the soil: I make my own soil. Science and the World provides.
I asked Pist who is a scientist: I can't drink rain water without becoming very ill. How is it I can eat plants that absorb the rain?
Pist: Plants filter the water. Me: Thats' it, that's your answer??? Pist: I'm in a meeting. The short answer is science.

The Last Half
The last half of my life has been delight, immense fortune, world travel, and adventure.
Brilliant friends, interesting and talented partners.
I've had such great fortune even when health issues were complicated.
And then this morning I harvested most of my dinner from our garden.
