I’m determined to grow more food this year.

Things are looking up. Proof that summer actually will come: Morning Glory farm stand opened on Tuesday. My meals are more delicious already.

Between gray skies and rainstorms, I ventured out and bought two blueberry bushes and two rhubarb plants this week.

At the rate we’re going on this Island, we may need one of those communal wood-fired ovens so popular in medieval days.

I always jump the gun — never been good at sitting still for long.

At night I dream myself to sleep with flowers. Sometimes I go through the alphabet, A to Z, asters to zinnias, buttercups to yarrow.
