"For us, our house is not insentient matter—it has a heart, and a soul, and eyes to see us with; and approvals, and solicitudes, and deep sympathies; it is of us, and we are in its confidence, and live in its grace and in the peace of its benediction. We never come home from an absence that its face does not light up and speak out its eloquent welcome—and we can not enter it unmoved."
—Mark Twain, 1896

Who likes garlic?


I planted Allium sativum AKA garlic, in a container, during the last few days of Autumn. Covered the dirt with leaves to keep them warm through winter, and now I have a dozen full grown beauties ready for harvest in about a month when the tops dry and start to fall. When they're ready, I will pull, bundle, twine, and hang them in the Garden Room to dry. And, aren't the Hydrangeas stunning this year?
