Holiday weekends...

... much harder than workdays. Garden progressing, in spite of our being cursed by the rain gods over the weekend. Storms to the left, storms to the right, nary a drop for me.

Pole beans—are they worth it?

After several hours of erecting a rickety structure to support my "kentucky wonders" (THAT remains to be seen), I feel no sentiment more strongly than: next year it's bush beans all the way.

This pastoral idyll just buying time before I begin my week's quota of ranting on Karl Rove, the Supreme Court, and the ongoing Iran demonization campaign.
