Can’t believe people here in MT still wait until Memorial Day to plant. This mesclun is ready to eat! #garden #growveggies

It was a good day. #abolishice

Gorgeous! First time in decades I made Irish soda bread. Made the cross too deep. Next one better, I hope.

Dude, that’s my chair. Maxi, big cat I’m sitting. #Caturday.

Made with real, high-quality Gruyère from The Gourmet Cellar, really tasty.

Fabulous! Here’s mine from a couple years back.

Why oh why did I grow so many poblanos?? Some cored & frozen. Some grill/peeled, sliced , frozen. So many chile rellenos!

Think maybe I planted too many #poblanos 🫑 #peppers #gardening

Look at those reds and greens! King of the North pepper and Pink Boar tomatoes. #garden #gardening

Say it ain't so, allergy blood panel!! I'm allergic to these kids? Starting the immunotherapy next week, so in only 3 yrs or so I can snuggle them without sneezes. Happy #Caturday anyway.

Just me here. Keeping you company while you pull garden weeds. That other one? Never saw ‘em before #Caturday. #cats

Everybody be posting #tomatoes! Here are San Marzano and Black Plum, ready for the Mouli (for a lovely, fresh passata) and freezer. Harvested a few days back in breaker stage, which is an actual thing. #gardens #gardening

Just wondering what evolutionary strategy this little green bean was adopting? Like, "if I curl up they won't eat me?" #Gardening #Garden #OrganicFarming

The feet. #Caturday

Finally, finally, peace in the valley, all kitties accounted for and fast asleep. Happy #Caturday!
