well, it's been a while since i posted one of these blog entries. i guess i have been busy 'doing' and less busy 'talking about' lately. i mean that specifically with reference to The Yarden. the yarden is what i am referring to as our house's sideyard. it used to be a house. then at ome point in the last couple decades it was condemned and demolished, then it was a crappy yard/dog pen for a while, and now it is well on it's way to being converted to a food producing garden with social capabilities of a fire pit and hangout area, and a work area - for chopping wood, building vehicles, etc. the peas are climbing, the carrots are popping out of the ground, the lettuce, greens, and radishes are coming out to play...
