Anyway, today, after days and days of rain, was beautiful.  We all went down to the duck pond.

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s one of those happy things that results from my spastic end-of-summer planting into any open spaces.  I recalled that I&#8217;d stuck a 6-pack of Romanesco Broccoli in the back&#8230; and today, I noticed a few of these sticking out:

Actually, it just contributes to my inability to completely clean up.  It&#8217;s a little bit like [...]]]></description>

Well, OK, so&#8230; the good newses:
I pulled FOUR eggs outta the eggbox today.  Seems we&#8217;re firing on all cylinders, so to speak.
The bathroom is mostly done.  Note &#8220;mostly.&#8221;  This has gotta be a new world record for an 6&#215;10 bathroom remodel.
Also, I found someone to work in the garden [...]]]></description>

On the chicken theme, one of the girls has now decided to go broody.  Dottie, the white one, had climbed into the nest box and was refusing to leave.  I mean, REALLY refusing.  Open the door, and she lets this nasty creaky&#8230; uh, hiss?  Not sure what you call that noise, but it isn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

Whatcha got there is a hawk (or falcon, maybe?), on the right, who&#8217;s just picked off a swift in flight.  You can see the soon-to-be-ex-swift hanging.  I can only guess the other swift swooped in like Bruce Willis in Die Hard and saved [...]]]></description>

Yeah, well, seems like that problem&#8217;s rectified itself.

Whatcha got there is Striped Romans, Brandywines, and LOTS of Principe Borghesies.  Tonight, I&#8217;ll be making a roasted tomato sauce for canning/freezing and firing up the dehydrator.

Also, our remodeled bathroom is almost done.  We didn&#8217;t get the window ordered in time, and so we&#8217;re in a holding pattern until that shows up later, but the rest is just awaiting inspection.  Anyway, my yard is a total mess, and I haven&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
