Old Fashioned Lifestyle

Over the last year, I’ve enjoyed taking photo’s. I have some images from some of our travels that I really like – and would like to enlarge and hang on the walls of our new house. I even found a great site to do it:

My husband has enjoyed some of the images so much that he even recommended we hang them down at the motel. Image Kind

Unfortunately, I just don’t think my photos have the quality to be enlarged. ;(

Perhaps it is time for me to get more serious about this photo thing.

• New Camera?
• Classes?

Yes. I could enjoy that.

(Oh, and here is my photo hunt entry for this week: clouds)

August brings in a mix of feelings for the gardener. The garden is in full abundance. All the hard work that was put into the soil earlier in the year is now paying off. And yet, there is a feeling of regret. It is too late for this year. Time already to think of next. Next year, I will get more tomatoes into the ground. Next year. Next year.

The feeling is accentuated if something has gone wrong. Perhaps a hail storm has come along and wiped out your harvest. Perhaps the animals found their way into the garden and helped themselves! Perhaps you were busy, and the seeds went into the ground late. I have coped with these gardening dissapointments by thinking of next year.

Until Now.

Why?

Because, I’m reading the book, ‘Four-Season Harvest’ by Eliot Coleman. Mr. Coleman lives in Maine and he manages to harvest greens all year long.

What? I can plant seeds in August and September? Let the dirt digging begin. I am inspired.
