Dreaming Of Ross Lake And Locavoring

Part of me is still at Ross Lake up in Washington.  I dreamed I was talking to Tom last night.  Worked all day yesterday making my "man cave" look cabin-like.  I got "in the zone" for a few minutes while using my bandsaw.  Talked to Tom about wood/log construction.  I kept hoping he'd ask me to work for him.

Woke up thinking about "locavoring"...

Kim is excited about the garden this year.  It's funny.  I'm just not that into it, but I want to be.  Maybe I'm getting lazy!

It's the perfect response to the disconnect between us and our land.  It hurts nobody.  It's healthy.  It puts you in the right mindset.  It teaches you how live in a sustainable way.

Here's one Houston locavore's article .  By the way, even if you don't want to get that into it, there's a great book for gardening in the Houston area written by that guy.

First sentence from article:

For decades now, our family has been growing nearly all the vegetables, herbs, and fruit we eat on a city lot of about 3/10th acre.
