Two new foods, dude

I just finished eating a sandwich consisting of whole wheat sandwich bread, seedless blackberry jam, and slices of swiss cheese. Very delicious. I almost think crisp baby greens would have been good on it.?
Also, while sitting in my tent in a rainstorm this weekend (good times), I was dipping my mozzarella string cheese into a jar of nutella. Yeah, baby!

p.s. I fired up the chainsaw today, with great success. Sweaty work, though.

p.p.s. Check out the website Scanwiches. Awesome!

The excitement is building! I received notice from Transformus that our theme camp is approved. Cool! Now I'm just waiting on grant approval and some monies to buy goodies, specifically miracle fruit and brain molds. We are rounding up a posse and brainstorming like 2011, and this is going to be a burn like no other. So excited!


update: no grant, so the miracle fruit tasting will only be a few folks, but I bought some brain molds anyway...

Fodder from above

It's 8 o'clock, Thursday the 26th. A gentle rain is falling as night approaches. I just finished cleaning out one of the rain barrels, so it's freshly scrubbed interior awaits the harvest of fresh skyjuice. I also just planted two basil plants in the garden, which brings me to the point: I love watering in. The act of generously soaking a plant immediately after putting it in the ground (or a fresh pot) to settle the soil around it is very satisfying to me. :contentedsigh:

update- I checked on the barrel at midnight (it had stopped raining) and it was almost full. I'd guess 50 gallons...

Pics to complete the picture...

Locust Bloom

Everything is in bloom! Even the homely locust tree, thorny and scraggly, like the Clint Eastwood of hardwoods, shows off it's beautiful flowers when the conditions are right. It's amazing! I love spring!
