Dogs. Dawgs. Other critters. Life as Oliver Wendell Douglas. Live heirlooms, both flora and fauna. Self-sufficiency. Suffering not a fool to live. Land stewardship. Turnip trucks, and those who have not fallen therefrom. Training things. Growing things. Search and rescue. What is this bug and what is it doing under my desk light?
Embracing the reality that Nature Bats Last.
This is the part I miss most about not having any land. Fresh asparagus is THE BEST! Try eating it raw fresh from the ground -- it doesn't get any better than that!
Last night, the father-in-law and me were abandoned to our own devices, which meant <whatever meat is in the fridge> times <whatever vegetable we can find>.
Turns out it was giant (1" dia.) asparagus.
"Hey, that was really tender!"
Yes, I know. (Bought from the farmer's market earlier in the week.)
hehe...great title. I'm envious of everyone withe the space to grow things. Living in an apartment, ground space is an impossibility. BUT - I do get to enjoy the wildflowers that grow rampant in the open space behind my building. Pinks, whites, blues and purple. Yes - spring is most definitely here :)
