Once you learn to fix a carburetor (thanks youtube) it seems like it is a full time job fixing them around here. I planted some peas, which is late, but I had the broken tiller, as I said, I divided up a monster asparagus root, left over from the old garden before some construction, to make a little patch, planted chard, beets, spinach. I used to think you couldn't garden before the last frost, but the weeds are sure getting started already. Anyway, we seem to be a bit behind Madison in the advance of the season, probably because the ice just went out, and when the lake is covered in ice, it adds a little chill to the wind.; 4/19/15, 6:36 PM
Lyle Sanford, RMT said...: what I love is that luminous flatness where the ground blossoms and those in back all seem to occupy the same plane as those in the tree when you let the image just hit you without trying to see depth - a fish eye take might be as good, but, for me, probably not better, because of the curvature they introduce would mess with that plane.; 4/19/15, 7:40 PM
Freeman Hunt said...: Browsing homes online is interesting because people make such odd choices in the privacy of their homes.

"Hello! We painted all the walls and ceilings of our otherwise tasteful and beautiful 4000 square foot home teal."

"Hi! I thought leopard print carpet and bright red walls would look terrific in the spacious den of my mansion."

"Like this picture of the garage? We thought the pile of rubble and garbage really made it."; 4/19/15, 8:23 PM

Her destruction of the government of Libya sure seems like Smart Diplomacy(TM) to me.; 4/20/15, 6:54 AM
