Bucket o' slugs handpicked from the garden 2009
2010-There was an earthquake in Canada that was felt all the way down here. But not by me. I didn’t even hear about it until a week or so later. We forget that the earth is neither solid nor stable and easily manage to live as if it were. Also as if our self important little lives were never going to end. What, if anything, about our existence is not illusion?
2011-Two more days and it will be a month without significant rain. Once a day (rarely twice) is taking care of things-doing much better this way than with too much rain. The potatoes and favas are ready to harvest though I’ve been too busy with company to get to them. The blueberries are excellent this year-huge and abundant.
2013-
Four slugs meander
Through window condensation.
Wipe off that message!
Two plus surplus inches of rain this month, over seven for the year (which started with a deficit). The slugs in the garden have been entirely replaced by snails. These pale gold creatures do as much damage as slugs but are much more attractive to look at. But there has been a slug problem in the garden here for over twenty years and suddenly they disappear to be replaced by something new. Why? What a mystery.
