misc.

They put in two little fountains in the Japanese garden outside the car dealership. It's pretty to see water arching into the air (lit from below, when dark), but it just doesn't match the theme of the garden. At all. Perhaps it help aerate the water?

Who knew? Duct tape cures warts. The world becomes more bizarre.

Finally returned some of the borrowed books to owners. Hope this is a start of a clearing trend.

I can *still* see the after-effects of the poison ivy on my legs. I suppose I heal more slowly than most, or something.

Irish Cottage Loaf is a bread with a really nice crumb, and a solid crust that isn't so hard that it hurts my mouth. Yum.

Almost caught up with veggies, with the second-to-last wave of produce tonight. I hope there isn't a great concentration of greens, or eggplants (I still have 4 from last week, though no more than that, at least! (Pheromone, did you still want eggplant?))

Penultimate veggies (week 19)

And next week is supposed to be a double-sized share. This week's stuff:

a big bunch of curly kale
a big bunch of chioggia beets with greens
a medium bunch of collards
a medium bunch of mixed salad greens
an acorn squash
a buttercup squash
2 eggplants
3 small, mostly green, bell peppers
6 salsify roots
3 medium leeks
3 biggish carrots

There were also more hot peppers and/or mizuna to take, for them's that wanted. I passed.

Plant joy: seeing that the lavender at work had put out whole sprigs with large leaves I hadn't even seen before. Seeing how many shoots the ginger has sent up (9!).
