Hi G. G. Thanks for the good words. I was laughing at myself.

Hi Don M. I wish we could have further discussed permaculture, as well. I'll check out those books-thanks for the suggestions.

Howdy. I wish we had more time to talk about permaculture at ILYM. But hey, there's the internet. The book I mentioned was Introduction to Permaculture by Bill Mollison and Reny Mia Slay. Also, if you can find it at a library, you might sink your teeth into Mollison's Permaculture: A Designer's Manual. Feel free to email me!

Ha! This was a delightful post. You describe the very reason I was late to work today. Now with my nine month old, I actually set my alarm an hour earlier to get out to the garden before he wakes up.

You have just described pure pleasure! It's cool these June mornings in Oregon, but the garden still calls.

What a delightful post. It made me smile as i went into the garden with my coffee first thing this morning. I pulled out a few weeds that I noticed. And I haven't even got dressed yet.....
