We had two campers this weekend. Holly and Rudy are my most frequent campers and to tell the truth…my favorites. They are as different as night and day but completely adorable in their own way.

I finally harvested my garlic this year. It is not as much as I hoped for but it will serve mostly as seed for next year. I will plant most of it in the 20 x 40 foot garden so that next year I will be selling garlic and garlic powder. It is curing [...]
