A small egg like this will not hurt. You will feel it leave you; you will feel serene. You will sing with joy. You will...

    Any Home Bakers Here?

    We have a couple of warm, summer's-last-gasp days, and then we crash, temp-wise. When that happens, I'm going to do some baking. Until then, I really need to keep working on garden clean up.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I pulled up two rows of spent tomato plants. I did get another 9 tomatoes off them. I have two spinning gourd plants that are going to take over the area where those two rows of tomatoes were. Fine by me; I won't have to weed it!

    Name 3 Things You Did Or Will Do Today

    Today we cleaned out our chimney. It wasn't as dirty as I expected it would be, and it was light, fluffy stuff. I was afraid it would be the tarry sticky stuff full of creosote. That is a load off both our minds. We're ready for another season of fires in the woodstove.
