Haloween Revisited

Way back in the past, 30 years ago, I would go to my bosses home to help him celebrate Halloween. "Celebrate" is kind of a loose term.... he and I would grill outside in the front yard (steaks, chicken, lamb chops, etc.) and hand out candy to the trick or treaters while his wife took his two girls throughout the neighborhood to trick ot treat. As you can probably surmise, there were plenty of adult beverages in the coolers while we were holding down the fort. Since this was Florida, there was also plenty of OFF spray and citronella candles to ward off the swarms of mosquitos after sundown.

Good times and good memories with good people. (As an aside, that year we did lamb chops it was amazing). So many years since I can remember being not happy, but at least "at peace." 

Garlic

When your small space in existence, and the world in general, is a depressing mess; you cling to any small victory. My garlic have gotten a good start this fall.

I’ll have to mulch over them this week as the snow will soon begin to fall and the hard winter freeze will set in.

Hopefully when spring comes, I’ll be here to clear the mulch and watch them bloom into beautiful flowers and delicious food.

Watch your step... reconstruction zone.

Holy crow.... it's been so long since I visited this place that I've forgotten how to navigate it. It's going to take a while until I get back into the swing of things. So consider this a construction site until I figure things out again and get them where I'd like them to be. But while you wait #FuckIce.
