to my very old, very well used camper van... it was a 1976 Ford Econline and an amazing vehicle.. i bought it many years ago, got oodles and oodles of camping out of it.. some very fun times and an incredible cross Canada trip...the cross Canada trip was wonderful.. we went all the way to and including Newfoundland, then came back through the U.S. .... my dog Shadow and my partner at the time had an amazing journey meeting people from the internet, seeing things we'd never seen before, getting lost in Boston, staying in New York for a week while we had a water pump replaced, seeing CATS on Broadway.... surviving travelling the desert with no a/c, staying in Los Vegas for a few days ...much later it became a dog house for Uno (daughter's dog) and a chicken coop because the chickens loved Uno... and eventually after Uno passed, a rat house... of which i'm sure the rats had a marvelous time!!
ahhh the memories...
as for my garden, no pics today.. but tomorrow!! i have 3 very luscious cucumbers ready for the picking... my tomatoes are ripening at an alarming rate and the kale is becoming overwelming..
my parsnip is way over my head and loaded with seeds.. i'll be harvesting the seed for next year.. maybe i'll even plant a row!! i always manage to just let the parsnip just grow where ever, and where ever it has grown!! My lovage is loaded with seeds as well but doesn't look quite ready yet.. will save the seeds for next spring and perhaps i'll get a few babies....
in one of the blogs i love to read, Subsistence Pattern there was an awesome tutorial on making laundry soap with Saponaria Officionalis aka Soapwort.. sooo that got me to thinking that perhaps next spring i need to pop a few of those in my garden... would be fun to try it, and according to the blog is a great natural soap.. i'm very cautious as to what kind of laundry detergent i use, because i'm on septic but also because i'm enviromentally aware of the 'crap' thats out there...
