Brewer's Pond Live

finally, it happened.
internet, that is. I made the order. I'm lazy when it comes to commit to spending money. Held off until I couldn't stand it anymore. This world gets crazier daily, and the televison media entertainer-news does a poor job of reporting the whole picture of our tiny little globe.

Being hooked up is imperative to keep up... like this lackluster attemp at a web log. I can't do it all iPhoned mobile. I need to be sitting in my little paradise to be tellin y'all about it. So here I stand.

Welcome back.

I have the tallest sunflowers I have ever grown. So many tomatoes in a variety of size and shape...



Jalapenos, green peppers and green beans. cilantro, basil, thyme and asparagus...the abundant lettuce has bolted so has much of the basil, so there is seed harvesting to do.
















Figs and grapes, and wild blueberries grow in several places, and need some taming and care for nice harvesting next year...

some blackberries had been whacked back, but a few sprigs sprouted forth and bore succulent fruits.

Things are shaping up, and everyone is finding their own pace and comfort... places for things.

Finding the rhythm of this place. What works, what does not.


So carrying on with it...

Stay Tuned.
