The Good, The Bad, and The Green

But one portion of an ongoing bountiful harvest from the community garden in our friend's backyard. Tomatoes, green beans, kale, red leaf lettuce, carrots, snap peas, butter leaf lettuce. We also have corn on the way and LOTS of sunflowers. They are huge! The garden also includes strawberries (i've had a few delicious ones...), some zucchini, winter squash, & a few other goodies. Praise God!

Some of the delicious chocolate banana desserts made by Kirsten as described on her blog. Mmmmm!

Oh so true. The tag on my chair from a dance show I went to with work. They are called tree dancers and put on a rather impressive aerial/acrobatic show. The music and staging were high quality too! Photograph in front of the bushes outside the front door.

With special thanks to Ed and his bathroom. (Scientific advancement!)

'In March the gypsies returned. This time they brought a telescope and a magnifying glass the size of a drum, which they exhibited as the latest discovery of the Jews of Amsterdam. They placed a gypsy woman at one end of the village and set up the telescope at the entrance to the tent. For the price of five reales, people could look into the telescope and see the gypsy woman an arm's length away. "Science has eliminated distance," Melquíades proclaimed. "In a short time, man will be able to see what is happening in any place in the world without leaving his own house." '
