Q: What besides plants and mulch do you have in your garden?
I have lots of rocks that I've hauled home from my favorite glacial outfall
pile. And a few (two, I think) pieces of wonderfully contorted driftwood but not much else. What do you have in yours? Oh, wait, on rainy days I have a large pale green trash can that I put out under the leaky gutters to catch rainfall for use on dry days. :) |

snakes rat, corn, TX ribbon
skinks anoles fence lizards mediterranean gecko (tons) racoon in brush pile rats mice neighbor cat (not the cats fault) green heron in our live oak tree many birds: finches barn swallows purple martins great horned owl I'm sure I'm leaving something out, but this is a backyard habitat so I love having all of these things. I don't use any pesticides, organic or otherwise and so far, so good. I wrote an article for a Buddhist magazine which may be published. If it is I'll let you know. I should get my website back up to show people how leaving a property alone for three years, an amazing thing happens...it balances out and does very well. |

The Summer of Love was 1967; fortunately I was too young to fully enjoy the festivities, but I did get to see The Dead and The Airplane play for free in Golden Gate Park. Janis Joplin was living in the Haight and still driving a car with a bad starter. Friends would have to help her push the car so she could bump-start it. When she finally made some money, the salesman at the Mercedes dealership tried to run her off. He thought she was a deadbeat hippie, until she pulled cash money out of her pocket and raised a rukus for someone to sell her a goddamned car. *smile* Jan, who didn't always live in Alaska -- Bedouin proverb: If you have no troubles, buy a goat. |

Oh, you and my brother. When anybody asks when I'm going to retire, he rolls his eyes and says,"From what?" But if you ever get a chance to work in a winery tasting room, take it. Of course you'll have to take the standard vows of poverty but, you get to spend the day with people who are having fun. Life is too short. Unfortunately, I have discovered that my life has the ability to expand to take up all of the time available. Then there are those times when I work 14 hr.s/day, 6 days/week. It's particularly nice to be free at this time of the year to get the garden in. Ideally, every day should have its' own name. Unfortunately "What ever goes up, must come down.
