The tent is set up by the river in the mid-background. We tried sleeping there last night--the weather was ideal--but noisy graduation parties kept us up till 2:30, when we gave up and came inside.

In the garden

Greens, foreground to back: Winter Lettuce, New Fire Red Lettuce, Spicy Mesclun Mix, Spinach, Red Sails Lettuce, Radishes, Turnips. We likes our salads. :o)

I'm unreasonably proud of our crispy, peppery radishes . . .

If I could bottle one scent in the world to sniff throughout the year, it would be Sweetbay Magnolia flowers. Its native range is generally south of Ohio but it does well here.

Mmmmm
