Spot on about falling off the Hive wagon. It happens to the best of us, even with a juicy price of $1.67 (am I still dreaming???) dangling in front of us. But it seems like you're not short on cool things to post about. As for me, I guess it must be a solstice hibernation thing...
Oh, the joys of an annual garden, with all its potential clients lurking out there...! But reading your lines, I can't help imaging venison, bacon, and diverse types of stew-meat running around out there, trying to come closer to you. So my question is: Do you eat meat? If so, do you hunt? And in that case, do you ever assist suicidal critters with humane euthanasia? (Okay, now I'm realizing how horrible this sounds if your first answer is a no! Sorry.)
We do have lots of meats running around here, we have javalina which is like a new world pig, quail, and deer. We've been working on getting a deer this year, but the weeds are tall, so far no luck.
The rewards are juicy, but it really does take commitment and engagement which is a form of work and also dedication. Luckily, I have no shortage of topics!
Ah, the garden. Its a labor of love, and we always end up with too much! Not to mention the canning, freezing, pickling, etc. I am excited about it. But the toil is REAL.
