How Does Your Garden Grow?

Believe it or not, the current drought has not had a negative effect on my little garden. It’s amazing, but dust hasn’t been a big problem either. HA

Actually (as anyone living in this part of the world knows) there’s hardly been a day in the last six weeks that it hasn’t rained. I guess I was lucky to get the garden planted at all and in fact, did so after dark in one long marathon session, wearing a head lamp. Until Saturday evening, I haven’t been able to get back into it because my hip waders have a hole in them just above the knee. I did manage to get the tomatoes staked and the ground dressed a little between the squash and peppers before it rained for another 12 hours. I guess I’ll be wishing for return of the rain before long, but right now? I’m sick of it.

It's In His Blood

Last weekend, after the trials event at Trent Parks place, my good buddy Mennonite Mike hosted a little hoe-down. He has a passel of friends who are really great musicians and several of them came over to entertain the rest of us. The little video clip was sent to me by the grandfather of the best of them to play there Saturday night. Check this guy out: Ladies and gentleman, This is JP Mason

Taking It Easy

In a flat bed Ford,

Slowing down to take a look at me"
